On March 22, 2026, Nielsen ratings data revealed a broad decline in evening news viewership across all three major networks, including CBS, during the week of March 9, affecting both total viewers and the key Adults 25-54 demographic despite ongoing global events. Previously, on March 21, CBS announced its decision to cease its radio news operations, with CBS News Radio airing its final report on Friday, May 22. This closure marks the end of an era for the service, which broadcast news and information for 99 years and was long considered one of the country's best radio newscasts. The shutdown, effective May 22, will also discontinue America's longest-running newscast, World News Roundup, and terminate service to 700 affiliate stations. On March 20, Detroit's WWJ was confirmed to lose CBS News programming as a result of the network shutting down its radio unit, a move that coincides with a new wave of layoffs.
