CBS News Radio is being axed as part of layoffs that were announced by division honchos Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski on Friday, The Post has learned. The pair told staffers the nearly century-old service will shut down May 22 with all roles in the unit eliminated.
The move comes as CBS News slashes roughly 6% of its workforce — impacting about 60 employees — in a sweeping overhaul driven by Weiss as she reshapes the newsroom under owner David Ellison.Piers Morgan storms off his own show after 'Manosphere' influencer's crude remark about his wifeThe pair said the decision was driven by industry shifts and financial pressure, telling employees that “a shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service,” while acknowledging “this was a necessary decision” but “not an easy one.” They emphasized the legacy of the unit, noting CBS News Radio has operated for nearly a century — from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports to the long-running “World News Roundup” — and said staff would be treated “with care and respect” as the company winds down operations.‘Price Is Right’ host Bob Barker's filthy dressing room secrets exposedChuck Norris put fighting skills on display in final Instagram post just days before his death at 86Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Beauty in Black’ Season 2 Part 2 on Netflix, A Surprisingly Dull Continuation of the Tyler Perry Series
