Greatest racing performances of the 70s:
1. Secretariat at the 1973 Belmont
2. Gabe Kaplan at the 1976 Battle of the Network Stars
I may have the order wrong.

I was planning to explain the enormous loss caused by the decision to shut down @CBSNewsRadio, but Scott @MacFarlaneNews did it for me. The magic of radio cannot be duplicated or replaced.

The CBS radio network played a remarkable role in our history & the evolution of broadcast journalism. It produced some of the most iconic reporting & spawned many of the greatest broadcast journalists of the 20th century.
The legacy is enormous. Its shuttering, a jarring crosswords.

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated. We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one. A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service. We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates. Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country. CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio. We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations. They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals. We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

The fix was in at the @FCC & @JusticeATR to approve the massive Nexstar-TEGNA deal. People need to know how abnormal and illegal the process was. I talk about it here: linkedin.com/posts/gigisohn…

CBS News radio employed so many great anchors - Christopher Glenn, Dan Raviv, Sam Litzinger, Charles Osgood come immediately to mind.
In my case, I remember hearing their top-of-the-hour news breaks late at night driving around. You'd be fiddling with the dial, and then stop.

I'll have more on the CBS News cuts in tonight's email, but for now... the cuts are affecting a number of correspondents (will give them time to announce the news themselves) and hitting the Washington, D.C., bureau especially hard.

Very sad news. My "home" for 25 years at @CBSNews, CBS News Radio, is shutting down. Feeling bad for all my colleagues who are losing their positions at CBS today.

"Around 700 AM and FM radio stations across the country carry CBS News Radio news reports and hourly updates, and many are now scrambling to find another service for national news and supplemental reporting." (@MatthewKeysLive @TheDeskDotNet) thedesk.net/2026/03/cbs-ne…

Understand two things about the @FCC's approval of the Nexstar-Tegna merger. 1. It breaks the law set by Congress on ownership caps. 2. Because the FCC regulates for "competition," it must now approve other massive mergers of media companies to compete with this new entity.

It should also be noted that four CBS News Radio affiliates that carried the hourly have a cumulative audience of more than three million people. That’s larger than the audience figures of cable or digital programs that occupy the discourse.

"Nothing here is normal," says ex FCC senior staffer Gigi Sohn. "This is the prime example of the fix being in... In 35 years of doing this - I've never seen anything that even vaguely approaches what has gone on today."
8 U.S. state AGs & DirectTV are suing to block the deal.

Yes, but you know, media consolidation leads to greater synergies, which means more journalists, and more news! That is the biggest lie media companies seeking to merge, like Nexstar and TEGNA, tell regulators.

CBS News lays off 6% - less than had been speculated. CBS News Radio is killed off, to go off air May 22 - the home of Edward R. Murrow and in many ways the origin story of US broadcast news. Memo below from CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski

@cbsnews.com is now fully dead to me - and, sadly, to all:
➡️ "One hour later, in a second memo, the executives told the staff that CBS News Radio will sign off the air on May 22."

Important context here via @freepress - including the numerous process irregularities, legal circumventions & curious decision-timing sequences involved; ironically, SCOTUS overturn of Chevron doctrine last year may ultimately bite Carr/FCC in the ass? freepress.net/news/trump-fcc…
