CBS News cuts 6% of staff, closes CBS News Radio as Bari Weiss drives overhaul

CBS News laid off roughly 6% of its staff in the second round of cuts since Skydance/Paramount owner David Ellison took control, and is shuttering CBS News Radio after a 99-year history. The company says the move is a necessary reallocation of newsroom resources to adapt to a changing media landscape, with about 1,100 employees currently at CBS News and the radio unit going off air on May 22, giving 700 affiliated stations two months to replace the service. Bari Weiss, installed as editor‑in‑chief, frames the overhaul as essential to growth and audience reach. The broader Paramount deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery/CNN is in regulatory review and not cited as a driver for the layoffs, though more changes at CBS News are anticipated in the coming months.
