For many years, its top-of-the-hour radio newscasts have delivered real-time information by way of tons of of affiliated radio stations. These broadcasts will not be relics. They continue to be a valued and trusted nationwide service reaching tens of millions of listeners in main metropolitan areas and communities throughout the nation.

This choice deserves reconsideration.

To the editor: As a local of Los Angeles, I’ve been listening to KNX for greater than 80 years. I learn with deep disappointment of the upcoming finish of CBS Information Radio, which is broadcast regionally on KNX.
As I look again on the historical past of CBS Information Radio, I vividly recall the distinctive voices of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid, Charles Osgood, Marvin Kalb and, extra just lately, Deborah Rodriguez and Steve Kathan. For me, these voices represented “the information”: correct, sincere, goal, dependable, calm sources of data wanted by me to stay educated about what was happening on this planet.
It’s certainly painful for me to think about the world after Could 22, 2026, with out CBS Information Radio.
