With the shutdown of CBS News Radio today, Audacy has announced it will switch many of its News and News/Talk stations to ABC News.
The transition began on Thursday with 780 WBBM/105.9 WCFS Chicago and 830 WCCO Minneapolis beginning to cary ABC News at the top and bottom of the hour. Others such as KNX Los Angeles, KCBS San Francisco and KMBZ-FM Kansas City will begin today or on Saturday once CBS News runs its final newscast at 11:30pm eastern time tonight.
In an announcement, Audacy said, “The addition of ABC News Audio ensures listeners across the country continue to receive trusted national and international news coverage, while our stations continue to deliver best-in-class local journalism in every market we serve. Existing ABC News Audio affiliates will continue their longstanding relationships with ABC News Audio as part of this expanded collaboration.”
