Goodbye #WCBS Newsradio 880. What you got in exchange is not one but TWO ESPN Radios on New York's #AMradio dial 🤣 (there's 1050 WEPN 🤦‍♂️)

I streamed WCBS' final minutes off since I woke up, and then also over an hour of the new #WHSQ, via #KiwiSDR in West Mountain, NY🇺🇸.

Another Institution Bites the Dust

WCBS Radio in New York, the originator of all-news broadcasting, will cease to exist before the month is out. Its famous call letters will disappear, replaced by something else. Rather than 24-hour live news, it will become round-the-clock sports discussion of interest primarily to gamblers. Also, there will be many ads for places where gamblers can lose their money. And other vices as well.
