ABC Radio goes to KDKA and others

Now that CBS Radio News (or CBS News Radio depending on your age) is shut down for good, nearly 700 stations across the country had to find a new affiliate. For KDKA (1020; W261AX 100.1) and many of its Audacy sisters it means a switch to ABC. WISR (680; 107.5 W298CW Butler) has made the move to ABC as well. WDAD (1450; 100.3 W262CU Indiana) has gone to NBC. Long-time CBS affiliate WMBS (590; 101.1 W266DB Uniontown) has selected Fox.

Sadly, many of the CBS affiliates didn’t wait until after 11:00 p.m. Friday to transition to their new news sources making the jump a day or two in advance. Listeners and archivists had to scramble to find an online source to get their aircheck. WMBS was one of those affiliates who stayed to the bitter end and archived the broadcast here.
