CBS News is discontinuing its radio news service as part of layoffs. The iconic service has been in operation since 1927, marking the end of an era.
CBS News has announced the closure of its historic radio news service, a decision that comes amid a series of layoffs within the organization. This radio service, which began operations in September 1927, was foundational to the development of the CBS network.
At its peak, the radio service provided top-of-the-hour news updates to approximately 700 stations across the United States. The decision to shut down this long-standing service signifies a significant shift in CBS News' operations and its approach to news dissemination.
