CBS News will end its nearly century-old radio service, CBS News Radio, and cut more jobs amid a rocky turnaround effort under its new top editor, former opinion journalist Bari Weiss.
Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski announced the cuts Friday morning in a pair of internal memos, which were reviewed by The Washington Post. They said staffers losing their jobs would be notified by the end of the day.
“Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026,” wrote Weiss and Cibrowski, who have led the network since parent company Paramount Skydance acquired Weiss’s online publication, the Free Press, in October and named Weiss editor in chief. “Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.”
