Weiss and Cibrowski announce they’re shutting down CBS News Radio, which has ~700 affiliated stations, on May 22. "Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.”

Thus, the CBS Radio Network (b. 1927) will be terminated at the age of 99.

CBS Radio was the foundation of American broadcast journalism. Over five decades I filed hundreds of news reports for it and felt immense pride to have been on the same network as Murrow, Sevareid, Smith, Collingwood, Cronkite, Edwards, Trout, Townsend, Kuralt, Rather, Stahl, Knoller & Portnoy.

@newsguyusa The leap from global, viscerally physical media, to ethereal, too-soft localization with cellphones, was too much, too fast. It's a critical behavioral error, leading to increasingly destabilizing root infrastructure metrics. Combine effects like Milankovitch Cycles being on full-tilt, and it's a recipe for disaster.
