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.

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 will end its nearly century-old CBS News Radio division and cut staff as part of a turnaround led by new editor Bari Weiss, with the service set to close May 22, 2026 and about 700 affiliated stations affected.
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.
