KCAL Goes DJ-Free as Inland Empire Rock Station Goes Fully Automated

Inland Empire classic-rock station KCAL 96.7 fired its entire on-air staff and will switch to a fully automated, music-only format starting August 1, according to the station’s owners, Anaheim Broadcasting Corp. The change is pitched as delivering a focused, uninterrupted listening experience, but it leaves longtime DJs such as Daryl Norsell, John DeSantis, and Nikki Preston (among others) out of work as the station pivots to automation.

WKRP Returns to Cincinnati Airwaves as Oasis Rebrands

Cincinnati’s Oasis rock station rebrands as WKRP-FM, reviving the WKRP call letters with a locally programmed 1960s–80s rock format on 97.7, while WOXY moves to 94.5 as part of the branding switch.

The Voice of the Yankees Remembered: John Sterling Dies at 87

John Sterling, the Yankees’ long-time radio voice, died at 87 after a 36-year run as the team’s play-by-play announcer beginning in 1989, calling 5,060 regular-season games and 211 postseason games and becoming synonymous with the franchise’s fandom through his distinctive baritone and signature calls. His career spanned eras with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Aaron Judge, included five championships, and he retired in 2024 before briefly returning for the final week of the season; he faced health issues in later years but left a lasting imprint on Yankees broadcasting.

CBS News will end its nearly 100-year-old radio news service on May 22, 2026, eliminating all CBS News Radio positions as part of a broader restructuring led by Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski, citing changes in the media landscape and economic pressures that require downsizing parts of the newsroom to invest in new audiences and platforms.

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.
