Radio is still doing well in a few markets where the stations have a lot of local relevance, but the business side says just run it with as few people as possible using all national programming and music logs that loop the Billboard top six tracks. A station can be off the air for a week and no one notices. As a whole, radio has been mostly destroyed.

@newsguyusa The leap from global, viscerally physical media, to ethereal, too-soft localization with cellphones, was too much, too fast. It's a critical behavioral error, leading to increasingly destabilizing root infrastructure metrics. Combine effects like Milankovitch Cycles being on full-tilt, and it's a recipe for disaster.
@numodular @newsguyusa What the dicks does orbital mechanics have to do with media monopolies?

Weiss and Cibrowski announce they’re shutting down CBS News Radio, which has ~700 affiliated stations, on May 22. "Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.”
Thus, the CBS Radio Network (b. 1927) will be terminated at the age of 99.
CBS Radio was the foundation of American broadcast journalism. Over five decades I filed hundreds of news reports for it and felt immense pride to have been on the same network as Murrow, Sevareid, Smith, Collingwood, Cronkite, Edwards, Trout, Townsend, Kuralt, Rather, Stahl, Knoller & Portnoy.
@newsguyusa They are hell bent on destroying CBS as a legitimate news organization and turning it into a MAGA mouthpiece.

@newsguyusa I'm 72. As kid I spent a fair amt of time at my grandparents' house. About the only time the TV got turned on was for Lawrence Welk, Ed Sullivan & The Wonderful World of Disney. A radio was on somewhere almost all the time, whether in the background or as a primary form of news/entertainment.
My grandparents' generation is gone, but that they formed *my* parents & they, in turn, formed my generation.
Ending radio programs pushes the masses to places like Fox & other propaganda.
I'm not that far off from your age. I grew up with radio too, and loved it. But I remember that even back then there were right wing ranters, particularly on AM. But those same radio stations also had wonderful stuff like the CBS radio mystery theater, Bob and Ray, and Jean Shepherd.
We've lost a lot of good things to time. Not just radio, but so many wonderful books, shows, and movies that anyone under 30 or so will never see or even be vaguely aware of. That's why I try to recommend old books to young readers, particularly books that are in the public domain.
Someone has to try to save those memories! And I guess it's me.

@newsguyusa Appreciate your sharing the news, which to me is very sad. As others have mentioned, I grew up with radio and the loss of CBS News Radio is awful, especially IMO because we need it more than ever

@newsguyusa Today broadcasters want to know who is in the room, who farted and why did they choose that moment to fart, who laughed, who complained, what was on the screen at the time, and how that scenario can be repeated..
That can't be done with AM, FM, or OTA broadcast TV...without a streaming service.

@newsguyusa @bjb It almost makes one think that they’re trying to limit the sources people can turn to for news. I think I might indulge in some listening to CBS Radio Mystery Theater this weekend. End of an era.

It's too bad. I listen to their broadcasts on 103 here in NOVA.

@newsguyusa - it’s like they’re intentionally killing off the corporation, one action at a time. Certainly nothing they have done encourages more viewership or benefits for shareholders.
