One Audacy Talk station is a Fox affiliate, WYRD-FM Greensboro. And Audacy All-News station WINS New York doesn't run network news, not even overnight. It had used ABC along with CBS for clips and actualities.
In my neck of the woods (Central Kentucky) we had ONE CBS Radio News affiliate: WMST (1150) Mt. Sterling. They switched to NBC news a couple of weeks ago, which makes sense as their other stations are NBC affiliates.
KTRH Houston left CBS in 1987, claiming that ABC's approach to news coverage was more aggressive and in line with the image KTRH wished to project. There's a little nugget of truth in there: sometimes these network selections were more about image than about content. CBS's image started falling out of fashion with radio stations, it appeared. That said more about what radio news was turning into than about CBS, I think.WAY back in 1984 longtime CBS affiliate, WHAS switched to ABC, citing CBS not being happy with them running their own WHAS local TOH (WHAS had an excellent news department back then) newscasts during morning and afternoon drive.
Who is RNN?Radio Network News has replaced CBS on KOZI-FM Chelan, WA. I wonder how many others have flipped to RNN?
The top-of-hour jingle sweeper is the exact same one that USA Network News used before they folded.

What purpose is there in having a podcast of the network news every :00 and :30 when there is an update available almost instantly? Any station that becomes an affiliate may record so as to play each newscast at the time in the next few minutes at a precise moment when another show... or a song... ends.I hope there is a podcast version of it soon.

They are still running Eye on Travel features with Peter Greenberg. I thought those were distributed by CBS.
