VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR: CBS News Radio To Cease Operations.

CBS News Radio will be winding down its operations over the next several weeks. 

The news was shared via an internal memo from CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski and first confirmed to Streamline Publishing by Manager of Affiliate Services Amy Bolton, who is attending the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville.

The memo confirms that May 22 will be the final day for the nearly century-old news service. Bolton, when contacted for confirmation of the news, noted that she is in the process of speaking with some of the approximately 700 affiliated stations about the upcoming closure of the audio service.

TV network late night chat shows winding down. An out of touch movie industry contracting. We’re witnessing numerous 20th century-era legacy media formats approaching the end of their shelf life. Which brings us to an exit question, and to ask it, is to understand exactly why CBS News Radio is being shuttered:

THE LOWER THE RATINGS, THE BIGGER THE MICROPHONES? CNN’s Solution to Low Ratings Is Enormous Mics for Anderson Cooper and Office Broadcasts for Jake Tapper.

Is CNN’s on-air talent trying to get all out of their systems before Bari Weiss cleans house as part of Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Brothers? Is this CNN’s version of Obama’s “stray voltage” strategy, an attempt to get bad news headlines that distract from really bad news, such as their string of botched reporting earlier this month? How badly does the on-air talent at CNN want to further tank the brand? Stay tuned! (To social media, that is. Why watch CNN?)

WELL: Female Secret Service Agent Who Didn’t Secure Roof of AGR Building at Butler Rally on Day of Trump Assassination Attempt Suspended AGAIN – Hid Marriage to Foreign National. “The agency is investigating whether Perez’s partner was actually in the US illegally and overstayed her visa. This is the third time that Perez has been suspended in the last year-and-a-half.”

Why wasn’t this person fired the first time? And why wouldn’t that marriage show up on routine background checks?

LEFTIST ‘ACTIVISM’ IN A NUTSHELL:

IT COMES OUT MAY 5, BUT I GOT MY ADVANCE COPIES: Seductive AI.

Watched an episode of Scrubs (the reboot — pretty good) the other night where everyone was falling in love with their AI assistants, interrupted for a commercial for Alexa+ showing it bantering along with its owner and being told “you get me” — which, suspiciously, was also a tagline on the show. Anyway, kinda makes me wish the book were coming out next week.
