Goodbye, CBS NewsRadio 880

Posted 4:00 PM by Gerald So

I grew up listening to WCBS 880 AM on my clock radio. I preferred it to 1010 WINS's typewriter background noise. Today, 880's parent company, Audacy, announced the station was changing format as of August 26, becoming the new home of ESPN New York. This leaves WINS, also owned by Audacy, as New York's only remaining all-news station.

I appreciate straight news all the more in this age of everyone's opinions posted to YouTube, but I have to admit all-news radio hasn't genuinely been around since 880 and 1010 began carrying sports broadcasts. And so it goes.
