Legitmate news services falling here, there and everywhere; replaced by the likes of Brietbart, Faux News and Facebook. The end of civilization appears to be just around the corner.

The end of civilization happens if the Leafs win the Cup in this Covid-Shortened season, then it is game over friends...

Re: Cumulus Pulls The Plug on Westwood One News

Listeners won't even notice.  The top hour newscasts are white label.  There's nothing identifying them as Westwood One whatsoever.  The anchor introduces his or herself, reads two minutes of news, then says their name again as a signoff.  AP stopped doing weekend newscasts a year or two ago, so radio network news isn't in good shape in the US.
