Genuinely disturbed by this. CBS Radio has remained one of the few serious broadcast sources in the country. It's a huge blow to news.
Brian Stelter@brianstelter

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

Aside from being the genesis of strong broadcast news, CBS News Radio has remained a good listen to this day - an efficient connection to the world at the top of each hour. No idea of the economics, of course. In its early years CBS News was presented as a public service.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

New study: Up to 60% of health care workers in Switzerland may have long COVID 4 years after infection. Of participants with complete data, those with an initially high number of symptoms tended to have higher symptom scores in the last survey. Read more: ow.ly/k5Nq50Yx6kc

From human rights perspective, what ICE is doing in the United States is ethnic cleansing, human trafficking and a crime against humanity. Report confirmed underage girls testing positive for pregnancy at detention centers. Children being raped at detention centers.

Let’s be perfectly clear, the pregnant girls being held in the Texas ICE camp are children. They’re not “young women”. They’re kids. If they’ve been impregnated after being locked up, every single ICE guard must be investigated for child rape. The girls must be freed.

In 2004 Boston Scientific recalled their Taxus stent because a defect in the catheter could make the balloon fail to deflate, putting the patient at risk of a heart attack. But the company sold the defective device until they had built sufficient inventory of replacement catheters without the defect.
Eric Topol@EricTopol

This is a recurrent fiasco. Health care companies that now the serious risk of their device or drug but keep selling it and do not acknowledge the hazard. Until so many people are harmed. Today's front page @nytimes by @katie_thomas @bostonsci Gift link nytimes.com/2026/03/19/bus…

New study finds that US COVID deaths were undercounted by ~20%. While COVID revisionists and antivaxxers are trying to con people into thinking we did too much, the data says the opposite: Governments didn’t implement public health measures effectively enough to save more lives.

There didn't seem to be any money concerns when it was time to hire all of Bari's favorite pundits but turns out the balance sheet simply can't support the parts of CBS that produce actual journalism

Doctors say that most serious childhood diseases are caused by viruses. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they are caused by radiation from 5G cell phone towers. For a busy parent, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Pete Hegseth just declared he only wants Christian prayers for this war. No Jewish prayers. No Muslim prayers. He even dictates how you should pray. This is the Secretary of Defense acting like a religious dictator. Absolute insanity.

From Edward R. Murrow’s broadcasts to today, CBS News Radio has been part of the foundation of American journalism. Murrow’s mic sits on display at the National Press Club as a reminder of that legacy. When an institution like that disappears, it’s a loss for the public & for journalism.
