CBS News Radio ends its nearly 100-year run with its final broadcasts on Friday, May 22, 2026. Multiple outlets report that the last newscast goes to air as the service shutters, marking the end of a long-running radio news operation associated with CBS. CBS News describes Christopher Cruise as anchoring the final newscast and special report, and notes that the shutdown is accompanied by final programming that includes retrospectives of the station’s history. One report cites a retrospective titled “Good Night and Good Luck,” presented before the service’s sign-off. Deadline reports that the final sign-off includes an Edward R. Murrow sign-off—“Good night, and good luck”—before the closing words are delivered. Deadline also says the final message airs at about 11:31 p.m. ET, with the announcement: “CBS News special report. I’m Christopher Cruz.” CBC News similarly states that CBS News will shutter CBS News Radio on Friday evening. Across coverage, outlets characterize the shutdown as the conclusion of an American radio institution, with the final broadcast featuring familiar CBS News voices and archival moments.
