New York Daily News - New York, NY, USA
- WCBS-AM (880) will spend today celebrating its 40th anniversary as an all-news station, with a returning parade of reporters and anchors from over those years.
Steve Porter, now a newspaper columnist in Myrtle Beach, was the first on-air anchor at 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 28, 1967. Other original anchors included Charles Osgood and Lou Adler, while the six-person reporting staff included Ed Bradley.
The sportscaster was Pat Summerall.
Howard Stringer, later the president of CBS News, worked at WCBS-AM. So have Jim Donnelly, Rita Sands, Steve Flanders, Art Athens and many more.
WCBS-AM became an all-news station for the classic radio reason: It wasn't
