Today CBS News announced it will cut 15% of its staff. This is as Weiss was
paid $150 million by David Ellison to carry out this erasure.
Now comes the announcement that the famed and important CBS News Radio will
end a 100 year run in May. They’ve told 700 radio affiliates they’re pulling
the plug. Among them are WINS in NY and KNX 1070 in Los Angeles.
CBS News Radio was the original company of CBS pre-dating television. This was the home of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Charles Osgood,
Charles Kuralt and all the CBS legends. Meaningless to Weiss.
