TIL there is CBS Radio News.
I thought they killed it a few years ago, but leased out the name and current reporters to one of the major radio station groups.
I wonder what WWL Radio will do.
Does NBC or ABC still have radio news divisions? Maybe someone can resurrect one of the old radio networks like Mutual or a station group will create their own news network service.
Fox has a news radio service, but in NOLA WRNO has that affiliation.

I go back deeper than the guys you mentioned, I have a huge collection of old radio news broadcasts that date back to the 1930s including the entire 24 hours of D-Day on CBS and NBC and the entire broadcast day on ABC, CBS and NBC on the day JFK was shot.
The reporting on those broadcasts is incredible and would stand up today because it was straight reporting, telling people what happened and no more. A broadcast from a pool reporter who was embedded with our troops before D-Day, actually was in the room when the men were told “It’s going down” and then went on a flight that actually dropped paratroopers on D-Day may be the single greatest news report of any type I have encountered in my life.
But nobody does that kind of actual reporting anymore, not in newspapers where I spent nearly 50 years in the trade (it’s not a profession), not on TV and certainly not on terrestrial radio which IMO is dying.
This is what it is …
