CBS Radio News produces the oldest daily news show on radio or television, the CBS World News Roundup (it first aired in 1938 and celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2008), which airs each morning and evening. The morning CBS Radio World News Roundup is anchored by Steve Kathan and produced by Paul Farry. The “late edition” is anchored by Bill Whitney and produced by Greg Armstrong. The evening Roundup, previously known as The World Tonight, has aired in its current form since 1956 and has been anchored by Blair Clark, Douglas Edwards, Dallas Townsend and Christopher Glenn.
The CBS Radio Network provides newscasts at the top of the hour, regular updates at :31 past the hour, the popular Newsfeeds for affiliates (including WCBS and KYW) at :35, and breaking news updates when developments warrant, often at :20 and :50 past the hour. Westwood One handles the distribution.

Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I’ve forgotten
If I ever read it.”
