CBS News Radio service is shutting down, but don't worry, KYW Newsradio is here to stay

A note from the Newsroom:
On Friday, CBS News announced a new round of layoffs, which includes the shutdown of CBS News Radio after nearly 100 years.
So what does that mean for KYW Newsradio 1060 AM and 103.9 FM? Most importantly, we are not going anywhere.
We’ll still be here, bringing you top local, state, national and international news, just like we have for decades. For part of that long history, we were owned by CBS. That changed in 2017 when CBS sold its local radio stations to the company that is now Audacy.
After that change, we remained a CBS network affiliate, which means we played CBS News on our station, along with our own newsroom’s coverage. When CBS Radio’s service shuts down on May 22, our listeners won’t hear those anymore.

They (at least the TV station) used to be a NBC affiliate before all the crazy buyouts and affiliate swapping.
But over that time since the switch, they would run ABC feeds (and still do) and in the past, also had CNN ones.
