CBS News Radio Moves Distribution to Audacy’s Infinity Networks

CBS News Radio is on the move, as it is moving its distribution partnership to Audacy’s Infinity Networks.

With the move, CBS News Radio will now be heard on more than 1,200 stations nationwide. The addition of CBS News Radio puts 700 more stations as affiliates with Infinity Networks.

“This is a major step forward for Infinity Networks and for our partners across the industry,” said Audacy Chief Revenue Officer Bob Philips. “By bringing together a respected brand like CBS News Radio under the Infinity Networks umbrella, we’re creating a scalable platform that enhances the reach and impact of great local and national content for our advertising partners.

“This expansion underscores our commitment to helping broadcasters grow audiences, strengthen advertiser relationships, and deliver exceptional listening experiences everywhere,” Philips continued.

“Joining the Infinity Networks family enhances the distribution of CBS News Radio’s world-class journalism and high-quality entertainment programming nationwide,” said the network’s Manager of Affiliate Services Amy Bolton. “This partnership also helps our affiliates expand their programming options through wider access to content in the Infinity Networks family.”

Infinity Networks was created earlier this year by Audacy. The addition of the radio news service to its distribution platform marks the first step outside of the country format, as it previously only distributed the Katie & Company and Rob & Holly country radio shows.

Previously, CBS News Radio was distributed by Skyview Networks. It began its relationship with Skyview Networks in 2018 and renewed that partnership in 2023.
