Cumulus Media’s Westwood One has informed affiliates that it will cease operations of the Westwood One News service on August 30.

Westwood One News was launched in 2014 as a white-label service for affiliates utilizing CNN content. In the affiliate memo, the company stated that the cancellation was “due to the extraordinary circumstances in the current marketplace.” The service has 962 affiliates including all of Cumulus’ News/Talk stations.

A Westwood One spokesperson released the following statement regarding the decision:

“Given the current necessity to make critical decisions about the deployment of resources, we made the decision to cease WWO news operations on August 30. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire WWO News Team for all that they have accomplished and acknowledge the exceptional leadership of Bart Tessler, who has commanded our admiration and respect throughout his 45-year news career. We remain heavily committed to our personality driven News/Talk programming with megabrands including Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire, Jim Bohannon, Michael Savage, Dan Bongino, Dave Rubin, and Red Eye Radio.”
