A nearly 60-year-old local news source for New York and New Jersey will be put on hold later this month as a new deal between two media companies takes effect.

WCBS 880, an AM radio station whose history dates back to 1924, is ending its all-news format at the end of this month, Audacy, the media conglomerate that owns the station, announced Monday.

With stations in New York City and Philadelphia, Audacy’s brands can reach several million listeners in the Garden State. It was unclear Monday whether layoffs are expected as a result of the format change.

The company announced Monday that the all-news format will be taken off the market and transferred to ESPN New York’s new location due to its new agreement with media company Good Karma Brands.

With the approval of the Federal Communications Commission, the station’s call letters will also be decommissioned.

The agency did not immediately respond to NJ Advance Media’s request for comment.

Chris Oliviero, Audacy’s New York market president, called the decision “difficult,” adding that it reflected a response to the changing behavior of news media consumers.

The company will put its investment into 1010 WINS, its station that has delivered news content to listeners for seven decades. The simulcast on 92.3 FM will begin in 2022.

“New York has always been proud to support two pure-play news radio brands, but the news business has undergone significant change,” Oliviero said in a statement. “The headwinds facing local journalism across the country have made it necessary to strategically rethink how we deliver the news to have the greatest impact.”

“WCBS 880 is one of the most respected radio stations in history. Its legacy was created by the hundreds of world-class journalists on and off the air who brought it to life over the decades.”

The station was previously owned by CBS when radio was at its peak in America. Audacy plans to air a commemorative segment on August 22 to highlight the station’s influence on local news.

“If it happened in New York or anywhere else, you heard about it on WCBS 880,” Oliviero said.

Audacy New York will continue to serve as the exclusive rights holder and premier audio home of the New York Mets baseball team, the company said.
