I find Audacy crying poverty rather amusing. They (and Iheartradio) are a big factor in the enshittification of local radio.
Online, I'm more likely to listen to WINS-1010, but I will miss WCBS. It had a style that wasn't generic and nonlocal.
I can now think of four remaining reliable all-news stations east of the Rockies. Everything else has disappeared or turned to shit.
