CBS News is discontinuing its radio news service after almost a century, as part of workforce reductions at the company.
The cuts, impacting 6% of CBS News staff, were announced Friday via internal memos. Challenging economic conditions were cited as the reason for ending the radio service, which provides content to approximately 700 stations.
CBS News Radio will cease operations on May 22. The decision comes as Paramount Skydance Corp.’s CBS News adapts to evolving dynamics within the news industry.
The closure marks the end of a nearly 100-year run for the service.
