CBS News announced it is laying off dozens of employees on Friday and ending CBS News Radio – its nearly 100-year-old radio service – as part of a strategic restructuring.

The news was announced in a memo to staffers from its editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, and president, Tom Cibrowski. Employees will be informed by the end of the day if their job has been affected, the two executives said in the memo.

The cuts are expected to affect 6% of a roughly 1,100 person staff, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Earlier reports had put the cuts at closer to 15%.

The CBS News Radio team and about 700 affiliated stations were informed that the radio service will end on 22 May 2026.

No time like a war to cut coverage.

The radio news most likely died for the same reason the Late Show was killed off.
