CBS News Radio Shutting Down After Nearly 100 Years On Air

Unread post by MichMash »

The announcement came as part of a press release detailing CBS' laying off of 6% of its news staff.

Assuming this means the end of WWJ 950's affiliation with CBS News, and their top-of-hour CBS newscasts (which are only about two minutes long now) will disappear.

Sad to hear but not surprised. I always liked their 10 minute "World News Roundup," which aired twice a day, weekdays at 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The "long form" version of WNR has not been heard in Detroit for many years, nor "The World Tonight" evening version. I think headline content up to the 3 min. break was all we get anymore.
I used to enjoy catching the hour-long "Weekend Roundup" on WBBM or WCCO. Don't think WWJ ever carried it.

The only area station I know of, which used to air the entire 10 minutes of the CBS News Roundup was WFOB-AM 1430 in Fostoria Ohio and I don't think they air it anymore either.

WTVB in Coldwater is transitioning to NBC News Radio on May 20. As an aside, I always remembered them (and sister station WNWN) as an ABC affiliate, and I don't recall when they transitioned to CBS (certainly after I moved from Branch County in 2002).

WGL Fort Wayne switched to Townhall, but still airing the CBS News 24/7 feed otherwise, other than recorded local stories, some clearly done by AI.
