CBS News Radio will go silent in May, wiping out all the jobs in that part of the troubled network and impacting 700 radio stations.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski announced the change Friday morning, according toThe Washington Post.
“Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026,” a memo to employees said.
“Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated,” the memo said, saying employees would know Friday whether they are losing their job.
CBS News also said Friday that it is cutting news jobs throughout its broadcast TV network.
A report inThe New York Timessaid the broadcast division cuts would amount to 60 jobs, about 6 percent of the news division.
“Certain parts of this newsroom need to get smaller in order for us to make room for the things that we need to build to remain competitive in the future,” Weiss told employees.
The news division of CBS cut 100 jobs last year.
The Washington Post reported that viewership of “CBS Evening News,” which cratered in 2025, has dipped below 4 million viewers to roughly 3.83 million viewers last week, according to Nielsen data.
