"When it went on the air in September 1927, the service was the precursor to the entire network, giving a youthful William S. Paley a start in the business."
"Radio is woven into the fabric of CBS News and that's always going to be part of our history, said CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss."
"Given the way things are going, I was saddened but I wasn't surprised by it, said Dan Rather regarding the shutdown."
CBS News will end its radio news service on May 22, marking nearly 100 years of operation. The decision is attributed to economic challenges and the industry's shift towards digital sources and podcasts. CBS News Radio, which began in 1927, has been a significant part of the network's history, providing news to around 700 stations. Despite efforts to sustain the service, CBS News could not find a viable solution. The shutdown follows previous cuts to radio programming and coincides with broader workforce reductions at CBS News.
