A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/4. If you lived through 9/11, you don’t need it explained. If you didn’t, it’s hard to fully understand. The professionalism shown by the 880 news team is hard to wrap your head around. When it felt like the world was ending, calm voices had info.

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/2 You hear the names and voices of the anchors and reporters, but there are so many others who are critical to the operation. They are producers, writers and desk assistants who make sure everyone and everything is in its place. WCBS had the best.

I was one of many reporters we had on a story that captivated the country. Irene Cornell was on Cape Cod and @MDiamond8 and Sean Adams were among the others in different places. After the plane was discovered, I went home. It was great radio.

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
In July 1999, JFK Jr’s plane went down off Martha’s Vineyard. I went to cover the search. I convinced the boss to let me charter a plane. They were different budgetary times. The pilot described the approach to the airport and vastness of the ocean.

From a recent @Tunnel2Towers video shoot with two 9/11 first responders down in Florida. Proud for this association with T2T and these heroes! #tunneltotowers #t2t #lgm

The devastating cell and power outages caused by Hurricane Helene underscore why I'm working to pass legislation to ensure all cars continue to come with AM Radio, which can be a lifeline in emergencies like this one.

sad to see another legacy news organization disappear: WCBS 880 radio in NYC. Thanks to Tom Jones @Poynter for sharing anchor Wayne Cabot's final words: "With each closing newspaper, radio newsroom, TV newsroom, magazine, now even digital news operations, the country we love is diminished. So as we leave the news eco-system after 57 years of all news and 100 years of service on New York radio, we implore you to find that next trusted source. Use it. Support it. In word and in deed. It is the most patriotic thing you can do."

Always loved listening to WCBS radio. A vital resource for information in the tri-state area. Sorry to see them go.

Since I was a small kid I listened to them since they went all news in 1967

"Our news desert is getting bigger and drier," @waynecabot said as he signed off WCBS 880, "and just as we should get a second medical opinion, we need to seek out more and more varied news sources that we trust..."

We salute our brothers and sisters in news as @WCBSnewsradio880 went off the air at midnight last night. The final word from Anchor @WayneCabot via @Newsday:

Peter, we've never met but you have been a member of my family for years. The single best thing I ever heard on the radio was your reporting during one of the the 9/11 anniversaries in which your description of the ceremony was heartbreaking and emotional and brilliant.

Audacy Mets Radio will continue to air on 880 AM.
@MetsBooth will Tuesday’s game still be on 880 am, or is the radio station changing with the demise of CBS?

You mattered!! 880 is woven into the fabric of NY. My dad is not on Twitter but has been listening almost daily for his entire adult life. He texted me this today: “I’m really upset about the end of News 88. They’re the highest quality news outlet in the country!” As a little kid, I heard 880 coming through the bedroom wall as my dad was showering and getting ready for work on the other side of the wall. It’s the first radio station I remember listening to. As I’ve moved around the East coast pursuing my own radio career, I’ve always come home to LI and turned on 880. That’s how I know I’m home. I don’t know a NY without 880. Thank you to every at @wcbs880 for leaving an indelible mark on generations of New Yorkers.

Thanks for this great piece @AielloTV and for mentioning Ed Bradley. When I started researching Ed’s work at @wcbs880 a few years ago, I didn’t know quite how important it would be to document this great radio station’s history. @CBSNews @60Minutes

To my friends and colleagues at 880 - you have left an indelible mark with your compassion, knowledge, grit, and heart. The NY metro area is a better place for it - and that is a legacy of which you can always be proud.@wcbs880 #Exelsior
