The CBS News radio station is closing after nearly a century of operation.

The CBS group announced the closure of its radio news service, which has provided news bulletins for hundreds of stations across the United States, after nearly a century of operation. All employees of this section will be laid off, according to a message from editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski. The decision comes in the context of a revised programming strategy and a difficult economic situation that makes it impossible to maintain the service.

CBS News Radio has covered major events, including the Normandy Landings, and operations will cease permanently at the end of May.

This closure is part of a broader restructuring plan affecting the entire CBS News, with approximately 6% of employees expected to lose their jobs. Bari Weiss, recently appointed to lead CBS News, has initiated a restructuring that has raised concerns about the influence on the group's editorial line.
