"For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927."

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo:

Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026.

Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time.

While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion.

For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927.

The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions.

Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward.

Bari and Tom

Wouldn’t be surprised:

Unlikely:
— Whitmer

Depends on 2026:

Within this period of 72 hours in 1973, Nixon was reinaugurated, LBJ died, Roe v Wade was decided, Vietnam accord announced.

@LilyCGuiney @ZachGorchow I might have also seen the video of your listening sesh. It's perfection.

@ZachGorchow @NSmithReports @ElenaDurnbaugh @LilyCGuiney @liz_nass @kasbenal Absolutely incredible team - and that includes you, too, @ZachGorchow 🏆

The MI Senate, controlled by Ds, and the GOP-controlled House both voted after the midnight budget deadline on a one-week spending bill. The chambers and Governor Whitmer now have one week to pass a new budget (the framework for which was announced last Thursday).

[Zoe Clark @ZoeMichigan]

There's a lot of "well, if we don't call it a shutdown it's not really a shutdown." But who gets to decide whether there is a shutdown? And, in what timeframe? These are all good, fair questions to ask.

[Zoe Clark @ZoeMichigan]

But no one in a position of power has explained 'how.' How is it that the government is still operating. Under whose interpretation? For years and years (decades, rather) the interpretation of the state constitution has been clear. The question: who gets to decide that's changed?

It's 12:08a on October 1st and maybe you're wondering what's happening at the state Capitol. The state is now in a new fiscal year. There is not a balanced budget that's been passed by the deadline. Whitmer - and many lawmakers - say the state will not partially shut down.

Rep Phil Green is this many minutes until 12:01a.

[Zoe Clark @ZoeMichigan]

@fanof24 THAT is THE question.

[Zoe Clark @ZoeMichigan]

Lansing rn: Basically it's like 'hey we can have a partial government shutdown' OR 'we can pass a budget before 12:01a.' And, instead, someone else IN POWER was like: BUT WHAT IF THERE IS A THIRD WAY WE'VE NEVER TRIED BEFORE.
