CBS Radio Network to Shut Down

ABC and Fox manage to find advertisers, how is it the venerable CBS Radio can't?

Keep in mind that ABC News Radio is a lot more than TOH newscasts. They offer a number of radio prep services for music stations, and they offer text content for websites. Neither of those are areas that CBS News Radio offers. In addition, ABC News Radio has been cutting their staff too. This entire business model is declining, and so everybody is cutting back.
 
Also, there is no longer a place to hear the TOH news on the net other than a station. All of the CBS News Radio feeds have been switched to carry the audio from CBS News 24/7.
If I ask Google to play the news it has a variety of sources and "casts" that you can listen to. On my feed, the first thing it plays is the most recent ABC Radio Newscast. Sometimes it's just two minutes of it, other times it plays the full 5 minute newscast with embedded ads that the network runs on affiliated stations. When they do the full newscast, it even included the subaudible "purr" at the end that stations use to breakaway to the next element. I have fun making my wife jump by turning my car audio up just after the news close. That purr really sounds loud and deep. You can also get the AP Newscasts.
 
I was able to get a studio quality .mp3 of the final CBS World News Roundup. It was sent to a station owner by a CBS Radio affiliate representative who then shared with me. Happy listening!

I cold not figure a way for this messaging software to let upload to the board, so this is public link to the file. If there is a way for me to put the file on Radio Discussions, let me know as that makes people feel better about security and stuff.
