Another era has been set to end, as WCBS 880 AM News Radio will halt its programming by month’s end, nearly six decades after its first broadcast which took effect on August 28, 1967. This is a shocking development for someone who was with this station while growing up in my ol’ hometown of New York City. What impressed me is the 50,00 watt signal at night gave me a crystal clear reception on the car radio as I would catch up on headlines when travelling outside the core listening area.
