U.S. Radio and Broadcasting

CBS News will shut down CBS News Radio on May 22, ending nearly a century of broadcasting, eliminating all radio‑team jobs and leaving about 700 affiliate stations without its programming; President Tom Cibrowski and Editor‑in‑Chief Bari Weiss said in an internal memo that "challenging economic realities" and a shift in radio strategy made the service unsustainable after prior cuts to shows such as Weekend Roundup and World News Roundup Late Edition. The closure coincides with roughly 6% of the CBS News newsroom—more than 60 people—being laid off the same day and has drawn industry reactions from figures like Dan Rather and Talkers publisher Michael Harrison, who called it a significant loss amid broader corporate turbulence at Paramount Global.
