Hey WYKR listeners! We’ve got some exciting news to share that’s going to make your listening experience even better. Starting April 2024, WYKR is teaming up with CBS News. This means you’ll hear news updates from CBS at the top of every hour, all day, every day.

A New Step in News Coverage

For a long time, you’ve tuned in to AP news with us from 6 am to 7 pm, without much happening on weekends. Before the world got hit with COVID-19, you might remember us bringing you news from Westwood One and NBC News. Our aim? To keep you in the know, always. Now, getting CBS News on board is a big win for us and you. CBS is a big name in news, known for getting the story right and covering everything that matters.

Why It’s Great for You

With CBS News, you’re never out of touch. Whether you’re starting your day early, working late, or just want to catch up on what’s happening around the world, we’ve got you covered, every hour on the hour.

  • News All the Time: News doesn’t take a break, and now, neither do we. Get the latest updates no matter when you listen.

  • Trustworthy News: Getting the news right is important. With CBS, you’re getting stories you can rely on.

  • Local and Global: We’re keeping you connected to the big stories around the world while still celebrating what makes our area special.

Bringing CBS News into the fold is about giving you more. More news, more insights, and more of the WYKR you love. We’re here to make sure you stay informed, entertained, and feel like part of the community, no matter where you are or what time it is.

We’re really excited to start this new journey with CBS News and to bring it to you. Keep tuning into WYKR for all the news, music, and local flavor you’ve come to expect. Let’s keep making every day better, together.
