Headline: Washington Post, 3/20/2026
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.”
It’s the latest hurdle at the venerable news network once defined by such authoritative voices as Edward R. Murrow, who rose to fame covering World War II for its radio division, and Walter Cronkite, who commanded mass audiences in the 1970s as anchor of “CBS Evening News.” That flagship broadcast has posted declining ratings despite an overhaul led by Weiss that put veteran journalist Tony Dokoupil in the anchor’s chair in January.
