Stations and affiliates Today, CBS News Radio is best known for its news and public affairs programming distributed to more than 500 affiliates, including former
flagship station WCBS in New York (which ended their all-news format in August 2024 and is now known as WHSQ), and current flagship

all-news and
news-talk stations. They include

Washington,

News-on-the-Hour newscasts (available in three- and six-minute versions) and a one-minute newscast at 31 minutes past the hour. They are sent to member stations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to the over-the-air product, reports and actualities are made available to affiliates via the network's Newsfeed service. Many of the aforementioned outlets make heavy use of the CBS network feed material throughout their broadcast day. The network is home to the morning edition of the
CBS World News Roundup, U.S. broadcasting's oldest news series. The
Roundup dates back to a special network broadcast on March 13, 1938, featuring live reports from Europe on Germany's annexation of
Austria. Since 2010, Steve Kathan has anchored the morning show, which airs at 8 am ET and 7 am PT.
News reporters and anchors CBS News Radio has an impressive list of reporters around the world including Jim Krasula, Peter King, Linda Kenyon,
Cami McCormick, Vicki Barker, Elaine Cobbe, Sabina Castelfranco and Robert Berger.
Mark Knoller was the network's long-time
White House correspondent. Knoller made occasional appearances on
CBS Television News, especially if he was the day's
pool reporter for the
White House press corps. Knoller no longer filed radio reports after about 2011, transitioning to report mostly on twitter. He left CBS in 2020.
Features and news programs In 2009, CBS launched a long-form late night talk program hosted by Jon Grayson, based at
KMOX in
St. Louis, and a morning talk show hosted by
Michael Smerconish, based at
WPHT in
Philadelphia, on some of its owned-and-operated stations. CBS handled the syndication of Grayson's show itself, while syndication for Smerconish's show to non-CBS stations had been outsourced to
Dial Global (which at that time was not involved with the CBS Radio Network itself). Grayson's show,
Overnight America, also entered national syndication via Dial Global on January 30, 2012. Smerconish discontinued the morning show in 2011 and Grayson's show ended its national distribution a few years later. Three of CBS's television programs are currently simulcast over CBS News Radio affiliates; those are
Face the Nation,
60 Minutes, and the
CBS Evening News. Some stations, including WCBS in New York and WBZ in Boston, aired the entire
Evening News. In addition, the
Late Show with David Letterman Top Ten List was also broadcast by the network in a short-form-feature format until the show's conclusion with David Letterman's retirement in 2015. Other public-affairs features include
CBS Healthwatch with Dr. Emily Senay,
Raising Our Kids (formerly suffixed with
in the 90s during that decade) with former WCBS morning anchor Pat Carroll, ''What's in the News'', and "Eye on Washington", a daily look at goings on in the nation's capital. During the overnight hours, the
CBS News 24/7 streaming service carries a simulcast of CBS News Radio's top-of-the-hour reports. In March 2021, CBS News Radio hired
John Batchelor to host a nightly newsmagazine,
Eye on the World. Batchelor had previously hosted an eponymous show that was syndicated through
Westwood One and, before that, through
ABC Radio Networks. CBS News Radio offers several weekly one-hour programs to its affiliates for airing on Saturdays and Sundays. They include
The CBS News Weekend Roundup with Allison Keyes,
CBS Eye on Travel with
Peter Greenberg,
Jill on Money with Jill Schlesinger and
The Takeout with
Major Garrett.
Sports programs Historically, the sports coverage now produced by Westwood One was branded as CBS Radio Sports and, like the news features, was associated with the CBS Radio Network. However, after CBS began managing
the original Westwood One in the mid-1990s, the sports broadcasts came under the Westwood One banner, with both identities used in the late 1990s. It was a practice that would continue even after CBS stopped managing Westwood One in 2007. CBS launched a 24/7
sports radio network, CBS Sports Radio, in fall 2012. It was distributed through
Cumulus Media Networks, owned by
Cumulus Media. (Cumulus Media Networks was merged into Westwood One in 2013, following Cumulus' acquisition of Westwood One.) CBS Sports Radio was included in the 2017 sale of CBS Radio to Entercom (now
Audacy, Inc.); after a license to use the CBS name ended in April 2024, it was renamed
Infinity Sports Network. == Anchors ==
