CBS 880 Shifts from All-News to ESPN New York

Audacy retires WCBS call letters as it consolidates news coverage to 1010 WINS, citing changes in media consumption.

WCBS 880 will switch to ESPN New York on August 26, ending its nearly 60-year all-news format.
Audacy continues ownership of the frequency but hands programming control to Good Karma Brands.
The move consolidates Audacy's news efforts on 1010 WINS, which simulcasts on 92.3 FM.
23 employees were laid off as part of the transition, according to the Writers Guild of America East
WCBS 880's call letters will change to WHSQ-AM, pending FCC approval.
