""Radio is woven into the fabric of CBS News and that's always going to be part of our history. We did everything we could to try and find a viable solution to sustain the radio operation.""
""With the radical changes in the media industry, we just could not find a way to make that possible.""
""Along with newspapers, radio was the dominant medium in how Americans got their news from shortly after the dawn of commercial radio in 1920 through the 1940s.""
CBS News will end its radio news service on May 22, marking the conclusion of nearly a century of operation. The service, which began in 1927, played a significant role in broadcasting history, featuring notable figures like Edward R. Murrow. Despite efforts to sustain the operation, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss stated that the changing media landscape made it impossible to continue. The shutdown follows previous cuts to radio programming and coincides with broader workforce reductions at CBS News.
