CBS News Radio concluded its nearly century-long broadcasting journey on Friday, delivering a poignant final sign-off with Edward R. Murrow's famous words, "Good night, and good luck." The last broadcast, which aired at 11:31 p.m. ET, featured Christopher Cruise announcing the end of the network, which had been a staple for approximately 700 radio stations across the United States. The closure was announced earlier in March due to budget cuts under new ownership by Paramount Skydance, leading to significant layoffs, including twenty-six members of the Writers Guild of America, East. Former CBS anchors, including Dan Rather and Marvin Kalb, reflected on the network's rich history and the honor of contributing to its legacy. The Writers Guild criticized the decision as shortsighted, emphasizing the loss of a vital news source. CBS News executives noted that shifting programming strategies and economic challenges made it impossible to continue operations, stating that CBS News Radio had been foundational since its inception in 1927.
