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.

The demise of any radio legend…. is the demise of an irreplaceable fine artist

@SEisbergWCIV I remember John Kresse….Appalachian State beat him to win the 2000 SoCon title. What memories…

Hello from Cameron Indoor. Rolled in on Coach K Hwy. Pretty cool that they named it after Coach Kresse to welcome CofC to their first tournament.

I feel terrible for the folks at CBS News Radio and entirely unsurprised that Bari Weiss is speedrunning the collapse of all things at CBS. CBS Radio singlehandedly changed American journalism. By the late-1930s, CBS Radio had more than a hundred affiliates throughout the country with bureaus in every major American city. Within a short time, the medium of radio went from providing short summaries of newspaper reporting to scooping print outlets on stories and often seeing their original reporting printed by newspapers without attribution. It was during World War II that CBS News, through radio, vaulted into global visibility. A young Edward R. Murrow delivered live, rooftop reports during the Blitz, a campaign of sustained bombing runs on London by Hitler’s Germany. His on-air descriptions of the carnage brought the war into American living rooms and helped build public opinion against the Third Reich prior to the United States entering the conflict immediately following Pearl Harbor. It was Mr. Murrow and his colleague Bill Shadel who were the first reporters to enter the Buchenwald concentration camp only days after it was liberated by the U.S. Army’s 6th Armored Division in April of 1945. Their reporting of the nightmarish state of the camp was soberly underlined by Mr. Murrow: "I pray you to believe what I have said about Buchenwald. I have reported what I saw and heard, but only part of it. For most of it I have no words... If I’ve offended you by this rather mild account of Buchenwald, I’m not in the least sorry." CBS Radio earned six Peabody Awards for their news coverage during World War II. This is a tragic and unnecessary closing chapter to a venerable institution.

@Andrew_Forrest1 I.e.: Duke has been better than us 4 of the last five years. And the only year that was an exception, N.C. State stole the show.

The real reason the majority (not a faction) of the fan base wants him fired is because… -20-40 in quad 1 games -Only higher than a 6 seed once in five years -A consistent failure to play a full 40 minutes against good teams -Missing the tournament or losing first round in 60% of his seasons No matter how you cut it, that’s not good enough at UNC.

Today is the four year anniversary of Rex Chapman on CBS talking about Pete Gillen’s death during March Madness. One problem: Pete Gillen is alive and was working for CBS during the segment.

@DanWolken He coached against Dean Smith at Miami Ohio in 1992.

If you’re a millennial college basketball fan, Herb Sendek has been in your life for literally as long as you can remember. He got the NC State job 30 years ago!

@awfulannouncing That’s funny. Kenny seemed fine when Siena was winning. What a pro!

Renee Montgomery is filling in for Kenny Smith today on March Madness studio coverage. Kenny is under the weather. Charles Barkley: "Keep your shirt on at the beach, Kenny." #MarchMadness #NCAATournament

CBS News Radio is also heard on the station with the most influential audience in the nation - WTOP in Washington. There is a wide lane for whoever wants to pick up the service.

Lets play a game & say IF UNC did fire Hubert... Who would best hire be? You could aim big time at Carolina....

@BarstoolBDevils Trying to report into existence, isn’t he?

Doesn’t seem like he’d be going anywhere.

@bepryor Hubert is doing SO much for UNC Baseball.

just wait til footba... nevermind

@MattNorlander Classic? Well, the score was close.

A CLASSIC in Greenville. VCU comes back from 19 points to beat UNC 82-78. It's the largest blown/lead comeback in the first round in men's NCAAT history. Terrence Hill Jr. with 34/5/5 off the bench. Incredible.

@NateWimberly Update?

Duke is going to lose this game...

@ThrowbackHoops Trying to remember the exact timeframe of this photo. It was sometime after a loss to Duke and sometime before a loss to North Carolina. And before another loss to Duke.

C-Webb & Jalen Rose (1993)

@nuggetpalooza @jeffborzello There would be WAC title games in progress as the selection show went on the air. On Thursday, you'd watch 12 hours of basketball, put the pajamas on for bed and then there would be Gary Bender going on the air from Ogden, Utah or Boise leading up to tipoff. Ah, good times.

@hamlin37 @jeffborzello That hour or so after the bracket reveal waiting to find out which game would be on at 11:30 seems wild now.

The best 12 hours of the year begins NOW.
