I am 54 and have listened to CBS all my life. My favorite was always the World News Roundup. I was spellbound when they called in reports from those mystical far away places .I sure do miss hearing John Cameron Swayze.and so many others. Thanks to Charles Osgood for his hard work and continued perfection!

WCBS 880 AM is part of the fabric of New York City and America, as well as the globe. I guess 1010 WINS AM and 92.3 FM will be part of the fabric of NYC.

Never in my years of listening to Wayne Cabot from afar, is this what I would have pictured you to look like. My mental image was always more along the lines of John Blackstone.

I recall hearing also Harley Carnes on NewsRadio 880

and now WCBS 880 is about to sign-off After +60 years!

Thanks for posting this. It is wonderful to see the inner workings of my favorite radio station!

Great stuff. The best part of it being the vast majority of the people in this now.. 20-year old tape.. are still at the station. 1 heard through the network.

I miss the personalities and buzz of that big-broadcast era. Gone forever. Oh, well.

Wayne, you have probably the best pipes I've ever heard!

Good luck Christopher, we need good people!

They were still using the four-note news sounder in 2000? (My email sound.)

Steve Prestegard The four tones on the hour ended in 1988. In the 70s there were four tones at the top and bottom.

E Kop So much has changed but at our core we’re the same news station that refrains from opinions and connects with what people are talking about. I’m really glad you have stayed with us.

Did WCBS leave the air or did they just move the studio to a different place?

This was their last day at the CBS Building, “Black Rock”. They moved to the CBS Broadcast Center. Now they are at another location, Hudson Square.
