CBS News Radio Ends Broadcasts, Impacting Chicago Anchor Jennifer Keiper
CBS News Radio has ceased its century-old network broadcasts, affecting 700 stations nationwide, including Chicago's WBBM-AM 780. This move marks the end of an era for the network's top-of-the-hour news service. Jennifer Keiper, a veteran radio anchor who has been with CBS News Radio for over five years, signed off as the penultimate voice of the network. Keiper, who has had a long career in Chicago radio, expressed sadness over the closure, noting the loss of a newsroom with a rich history. The decision to end the broadcasts was attributed to economic conditions and changes in the media landscape. Keiper, who has worked at various Chicago radio stations and served as a Midwest correspondent for Fox News Radio, is now looking forward to a break, which she has dubbed the 'Summer of Jen.' Despite the closure, she remains hopeful for future opportunities in radio.
