NEW YORK - It's the end of an era in local news in New York City.
WCBS 880 is ending its run as an all-news radio station, as of Aug. 26. As of Aug. 27, the station will be relaunched with the new call letters WHSQ-AM, which will be the new radio home of ESPN New York.
The move will leave New York City with one all-news radio station. Audacy, which owns WCBS 880, also owns 1010 WINS@92.3 FM, which will remain in an all-news format.
New York Mets games will continue to air on 880 AM and stream on the Audacy app, the company said.
