CBS News shutters its storied radio news service after nearly a century, ending an era

2. I still listen to radio, but a lot of people don't.

I like the immediacy of it. But my niece, then 19, told me about two years ago that "young people don't listen to radio".

(Judging from her, they wear headphones and watch TikTok and YouTube videos all day, work one summer at a job her mom found her for about 8-10 hours a week, and after that just stay home without going to college or getting any other jobs, but I digress).

There's a ton of good radio out there. It's good for sports and traffic and weather (when we're in the car) and I listen to public radio and CBC a lot and both are very valuable.

Radio is a connector, too. This is just one more step towards the total Balkanization of media.
