Thanks so much for this. Got to see "behind the scenes," and at 1:14, saw the voice behind "More than just the headlines-this is WCBS Newsradio 880." You got yourself one helluva fine station, Audacy, and I wish you all the success in the world!
I really liked this theme. It reminded me a little of the last jingle package KQV used before they ended their news operation & shut down. Too bad it only had a 4 year run, but given recent events, that ended up being 2 years longer than it's replacement ran 😬 I miss WCBS already...
Uninspiring and unsurprisingly Audacy ruins yet another station and effectively kills WCBS in 2024. As someone on the West Coast, in SoCal, we lost KFWB News 980 back in 2009. Not owned by Audacy back then. Call letters still exist (Spanish Radio), but the 24/7 news only found on KNX 97.1 and 1070AM and ironically headed up by, Alex Silverman. Sad to see this happening.
@bobjones1999 Audacy has been bank rupt for a long time now with the dieing of the radio industry. Audacy simply cant handle fueling two newsradio stations in one city. Good Karama Brands will be "renting" 880, into ESPN, and so Audacy will get money out of it
I don’t like the music - please bring back the music and intros from the 1980s through the early 2000’s. I dislike the CBS chimes (top of the hour) - why ruin a great thing?!
OH MY GOSH! I know what the “More then just the headlines” lady looks like now!

Sad that it's all gone, now. I wonder if there was an inkling that the station would be gone in a few years when this was recorded.

Every time Alex Silverman goes to a station the theme changes. You can watch him plugging the KYW and KNX new themes.
Thanks for taking it away from us @Audacy.
Why did wcbs 880 even get bought by? thought they were fine financially

@@emlee703 Ohhh that's depressing. Thanks for clearing it up. Although, I thought they had a 880 Chopper, how can they afford that?
@bobjones1999 880 doesnt have there own chopper. They rent it from somewhere in Lyndhurst. Also, sorry i didnt mean to dislike your comment.
The realities of am radio and the broadcast media landscape have made this change unavoidable.
Just a question:
What happened to it? Why don't you use it anymore?
Here before 1,000 Subs...I’m the #554 !! 😆👌🏼
Your station should be live on Twitch or RUclips.
The old theme was so much better. This really doesn't make me want to listen.
These jingles were terrible! Can't compare to the previous jingles or (further back) the "More than just the headlines" jingles.
