WDEL Picks up CBS Radio News....

650AM said:
will run features, stories and other content from CBS Radio, but no top-of-the hour newscasts.

Which means I, at least, must rely on WCBS to provide me with the semi-famous CBS news sounder at the top of every hour* from now on, a) since WILM has dropped CBS b) WPHT doesn't carry TOH CBS newscasts during significant dayparts and c) Washington's 1500 am IIRC has dropped CBS, too.

*except during Yankees broadcasts

Ixnay, I know what you mean about missing the CBS tone after hearing it locally for 30+ years.
WCOJ - 1420AM, West Chester still runs CBS at the top of the hour. You can get your "tone fix" there as WCOJ penetrates into at least most parts of Northern New Castle County fairly well.
 
I've tuned in a few times, but have not noticed any change in WDEL's newscasts during morning drive time that feature any CBS radio feeds ( however, I'm not a regular listener to WDEL and might not have noticed the change).

Did WDEL actually start airing CBS features yet. If so, what features and when are they aired.

I was driving back to work from a lunchtime errand today and heard WDEL air Dave Rosse at 12:57p. Haven't heard Osgood on WDEL yet though.

Dave Ross also does a syndicated feature for AP Radio, which WDEL has carried for some time.

Many CBS "affiliates" just clear the spots (it's all about the money). For example, WOGL is listed as a CBS Radio Network affiliate.

The tip off will be if Fatso and Ranjan are back together again.
Another tip off: No Osgood Report but Osgood doing spots in the off-hours.
 
I noticed this weekend for the first time that WDEL is carrying some CBS top of the hour newscasts. I wonder if they do this overnight as well?
