CBS News announced it is laying off dozens of employees on Friday and ending CBS News Radio – its nearly 100-year-old radio service – as part of a strategic restructuring. The CBS News Radio team and about 700 affiliated stations were informed that the radio service will end on 22 May 2026. “We recognize that this is a difficult time for those who will be leaving CBS News,” Weiss and Cibrowski wrote. Shuttering CBS News Radio was a “necessary decision” but it “not an easy one”, Weiss and Cibrowski said in a memo. After talking about the layoffs at the beginning of the morning meeting, Weiss pivoted to discussing the news of the day.
