Show Notes
Last week, Audacy announced it is selling its 880 AM frequency to ESPN, marking the end of a local broadcast news institution, WCBS Newsradio 880. To many New Yorkers, WCBS was a staple in the daily routine, from the morning commute, to the cab ride, to the Yankees and Mets games. Jerry Barmash, veteran local broadcaster and author of the book, Here Now the News: An Inside Scoop into New York’s Best-Loved Anchors, reflects on the end of WCBS and we take your calls.
