I think Xtra106.3 is a Fox News affiliate, at least they were at one time.
Also, Mark Arum regularly has ABC reporters on his program. In the past week, he has had at least 3. Would that indicate that they are still an affiliate?

WSB must still be affiliated with ABC News because Mark Arum quite often has long time ABC reporter, Alex Stone as a guest.
I just noticed Mark Arum promoting an appearance by an NBC News Radio reporter on his program today. I think that may be a new affiliation for WSB.
That is in addition to the reporters from CBS News Radio and ABC Radio he’s also having on.

Yes on the 10am hour he had a reporter from ABC and one from CBS during the 11am hour.
They have been suing NBC news for quite awhile. Once in a blue moon I have heard an NBC reporter in the top of the hour newscast. I even posted here about it but nobody really knew why. So, I am guessing they have had the relationship for whatever reason.
Legacy contract?

Legacy contract with iHeart or Comcast?
There is going to be a retrospective offered to affiliates, but there will also be continued newscasts up until 11:31pm ET.
Also, the CBS News feed is not "clearing the way" for successor networks. The Worldwide News network has a totally different syndicator than CBS Radio.
Of course they are not "clearing the way" which is why I made sure to qualify this was from AI. As someone said in another thread, the only place I could find anything was from AI. I have been looking for days. 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.
So just ask your question. No need to paste in garbage information a computer made up.
I have been asking and this is the only info I could find. It seems to be plausible. I apologize for cluttering up your screen.
That’s been the case for a while.
If it's not yet an official site policy, @lanceventa and I very strongly discourage "I asked ChatGPT and it says..." type of posts here.
They are usually wrong in the details, as this is. And they're wrong in this case specifically because there's so little information out there they can draw from and regurgitate.
If we don't know, sometimes we just don't know. CBS hasn't put any official schedule out there that I've seen. I'm sure we'll know a little more by Friday.
I have a conference call tomorrow with a broadcast history society about how AI is effecting the history of radio and related fields. The biggest issue is the wealth of references we are accumulating to "assumed facts". Those are cases where some data is available, but it is not complete and does not cover the entire history of the subject.
In these cases, AI often assembles a possible timeline based on the data it has. When the data is thin or weak, AI makes very false assumptions.
I find AI useful to get broad definitions of terms, but not historical facts that are not widely disseminated or available.
There's one fact I know for sure: CBS News Radio will take its last breath on the same calendar day as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert does. LSSC at 12:37 am, and CBSNR at 11:32pm, bookending May 22.
(I'm assuming any retrospective they do won't actually be airing live, and will follow a similar playbook to the one used when WCBS880 ended its run in 2024.)
It's an astounding event to behold when a broadcast company decides to commit suicide.

Reminder: CBS News Radio was losing money. What do you call continuing to do something that loses money?
Reminder: the CBS Evening News, CBS Mornings, and -- wait for it, it's coming soon -- 60 Minutes . Was everything there losing money when the new regime set foot in the building?
About the only show Bari hasn't started to tinker with [yet] is Sunday Morning, and that's probably cause Jane Pauley would deck her if she tried.
Also, on the radio side, were they even trying to make money? They've cut that operation down to bare bones. They're with a new distributor (Audacy) in just the last few months. Of course they're losing money, that's easy when there are no ads running. ABC and Fox manage to find advertisers, how is it the venerable CBS Radio can't?
They shoot horses, don't they?
Have they shut any of those things down? No. The subject was things they have shut down.
Also, don't assume the people running Paramount approve of what's happening at CBS News:
How long was the radio side in business? 99 years. They were losing money when they sold the radio stations to Audacy ten years ago. That's why they sold the stations. That was before Paramount and Bari Weiss. Radio has been losing money everywhere, not just at CBS.
Fox News Radio is not a "news network" but a talk network.

It is very tough to find sponsors that will buy newscasts. Many affiliates are on AM, many more in unrated or small markets. With the industry off so much, it is a hard sell.
