CBS News Radio to End Broadcasts After Nearly 100 Years
CBS News Radio will cease operations on Friday following nearly a century of continuous service. The network will mark the close with a special retrospective hosted by Major Garrett.
americanthinker.comCBS News Radio will shut down its broadcasts on Friday after nearly 100 years on the air. The closure ends one of the longest-running continuous news services in American radio history. The network has delivered hourly newscasts and special coverage since its launch in the late 1920s.
Garrett will host a marathon program on the final day that draws on decades of archived material. The special will feature memorable moments from the network's history, including live reports from major national and international events. Listeners will hear excerpts from coverage of presidential elections, space missions, and breaking news developments that defined successive eras of American life.
Radio maintained a presence through the rise of television, the internet, and streaming audio. Its hourly updates remained a staple for affiliate stations across the United States even as audience habits shifted. The service also supplied raw audio feeds and correspondent reports used by television and digital platforms within the CBS organization.
No replacement audio service has been announced by the parent company following the Friday sign-off.
