CBS News will end its nearly 100-year-old radio news service and cut more jobs as part of a broader restructuring led by Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, according to internal memos sent to staff on Friday


quote:

“Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026,” Weiss and Cibrowski wrote. “Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.”

The executives cited changes in the media landscape and financial pressures as driving the move.

End of an era. Those 6-minute TOH news casts were some of the most information dense media in existence. You got all the headlines you needed and no fluff or bias. There wasn't time for it. Outstanding writing, flawless production.

I was lucky enough to work with some of the best voices in all of radio (some have passed away for a while). .

Glenn could do fast reads with zero stumbles. Like never. Yet, he never sounded hurried. It's an amazing talent few have. He even narrated a Saturday morning show kids for a while...

Some others...

Tom Foti
Steve Portnoy
Dan Raviv
Bill Gasperini
Jim Krasula

Dammit..

You're an idiot. The Radio News division has nothing to do with the TV folks.

Obviously it was losing money which means the message was extremely liberal or marxist.

Go, that’s a stupid post. CBS Radio was solid and reliable. Only a lunatic would think it was particularly left wing.
It was classic national radio with some of the most famous and treasured broadcasts…

It is why there was so much backlash when Bari Weiss took over. She was considered too "anti-woke."

TA I see you are in Houston. I live there as well. Can you tell what stations in our area carries these broadcasts. I had not heard of CBS Radio and I'm a Broadcast Journalism grad.
