About WCBS Newsradio 880
WCBS Newsradio 880 is New York City's second all-news AM station, broadcasting from New York and delivering continuous local and national news to the greater New York metropolitan area. Part of the CBS News Radio network, WCBS 880 has been covering New York since 1967 and remains one of the most trusted news voices in the market.
The station's format mirrors what all-news radio does best: regular news updates, live coverage of breaking events, traffic and transit reports throughout morning and afternoon drive times, and weather forecasts timed to when New Yorkers need them most. As a CBS News Radio affiliate, WCBS draws on national and international reporting resources alongside its local news operation.
WCBS 880's coverage focuses on New York City and the tri-state area — news from the five boroughs, suburban New Jersey, Westchester, and Connecticut that matters to the millions of people who commute in and out of the city daily. The station's reporters cover City Hall, Albany, the courts, and the neighborhoods across a region that is simultaneously a global hub and a collection of very local communities.
The 880 AM signal is one of the stronger AM signals in the Northeast, reaching audiences well beyond New York into New England, the mid-Atlantic, and even Canada during nighttime hours.
