After nearly 60 years, CBS News Radio has ended the World News Roundup Late Edition broadcast and has also ended the Weekend Roundup version of the newscast.
On Friday, December 19th, during the World News Roundup Late Edition at 7 PM ET, anchor Jennifer Kuiper said, “This is the final broadcast of the World News Roundup Late Edition … But CBS will continue our mission of bringing you the latest breaking news,” before airing lockouts from Bill Whitney, Dave Barrett, Jim Chenevey, Pam Coulter, Peter King, and her own for the final time.
The broadcast was launched in 1966 as a 15-minute newscast before later being shortened and rebranded to its current iteration in 1999.
CBS News Radio has continued providing evening newscasts, which are shorter in length than their predecessor and do not utilize the World News Roundup branding.
On Saturday, December 20th, CBS News Weekend Roundup host Allison Keyes revealed that the episode was the final edition of the program.
“This is the final CBS News Weekend Roundup,” she said to begin the episode. “We want to thank you for listening and for your support of this award-winning show over the years. We appreciate it.”
The changes at CBS News Radio come after the company moved its distribution and advertising sales operations from Skyview Networks to Audacy and its Infinity Networks in October 2025.
