CBS News Radio Ends With An Edward R. Murrow Sign Off: “Good Night, And Good Luck”

CBS News Radio shuttered on Friday after nearly a century of broadcasting, with its final newscast coming to close with the voice of Edward R. Murrow and his famous sign off, “Good night, and good luck.”

Then came the final words around 11:31 p.m. ET, “CBS News special report. I’m Christopher Cruz.”

The network announced in March that CBS News Radio would be shuttering due to budget cuts under new owners Paramount Skydance.

Also heard on the final newscast were other current anchors, including Steve Kathan, the anchor of CBS News Roundup, who noted that “America’s longest running newscast signs off for the last time.”
