WCBS Newsradio 880 will transition to WHSQ-AM, an all-sports station on August 26, marking the end of nearly 57 years of all-news broadcasting.
In recent years, despite a decline in radio listenership due to digital alternatives, WCBS-AM maintained a loyal audience of New Yorkers amidst technological changes.
Audacy, the owner of WCBS-AM, attributes the change to challenges facing local journalism, emphasizing that news listeners will still have access through WINS.
WCBS has faced various adaptations over the years, including carrying New York Mets games since 2019, indicating a shift from its original all-news format.
