"CBS Radio has played a major role in American mass-media history ever since it was founded in 1927. It's the network where Orson Welles performed his infamous 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast and where Edward R. Murrow reported on World War II."
"Weiss and Cibrowski wrote, "It's no secret that the news business is changing radically, and that we need to change along with it." This statement reflects the ongoing transformation within the media landscape."
CBS News Radio will air its final broadcast in May after nearly a century of operation. This closure is part of a new round of layoffs at CBS News, affecting 60 employees, or 6% of the news team. The layoffs follow a previous reduction of 100 jobs in October. CBS Radio has been significant in American media history since its founding in 1927, providing content to around 700 stations nationwide. The final broadcast is scheduled for May 22.
