Federal Bankruptcy Judge Okays Cumulus Reorganization Plan

A federal bankruptcy judge has confirmed Cumulus Media’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, allowing the Atlanta-based radio company to restructure approximately $660 million in debt, wipe out existing shareholders, and emerge as a privately held company with CEO Mary Berner staying in her role.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Alfredo R. Pérez in the Southern District of Texas (Houston) signed the confirmation order on Wednesday. 

The swift approval came less than six weeks after Cumulus filed for bankruptcy protection, reflecting strong pre-filing support from creditors.

Under the plan, the majority of Cumulus’s secured debt will convert to equity:

• Holders of the 2029 secured claims (approximately $168.6 million) will receive 95% of the reorganized company’s new common stock plus $50 million in exit convertible notes.
• Holders of other funded debt claims — including 2026 notes, 2026 term loans, and 2029 deficiency claims (totaling roughly $494.5 million) — will receive the remaining 5% of new equity.
• Existing shareholders will receive nothing.

The plan’s effectiveness is still subject to FCC approval of a transfer-of-control application for Cumulus’s broadcast licenses, which the company must file.

Additional provisions include:

• SoundExchange receiving carve-outs that preserve its statutory royalty audit rights for 2017–2022, with limitation periods tolled during the bankruptcy.
• Assumption without modification of the NFL’s audio rights agreement with Westwood One.
• Amended employment agreements for the current CEO and CFO, who will remain in their positions.
• A new board of directors, selected by the 2029 secured claim holders, to take control on the effective date.

Once complete, Cumulus will operate as a private company, with its new securities exempt from Securities Act registration requirements.

TV Ratings: Fox News Channel Leads All TV In Weekday Prime

FOX News Channel (FNC) finished the week of April 6 leading all of television in weekday primetime with nearly 3.6 million viewers, outpacing broadcast networks CBS (3,555,000 viewers), ABC (3,000,009 viewers), and NBC (2,962,000 viewers), according to Nielsen Media Research Big Data + Panel. 

FNC also outperformed ABC and NBC in Monday - Sunday primetime, with 3,050,000 viewers, while ABC saw 2,626,000 and NBC saw 2,601,000 viewers. In Monday - Sunday total day, FNC drew 1.8 million viewers outpacing NBC (1.7 million viewers). Notably, FOX News Saturday Night (Saturdays, 10PM/ET) marked its highest rated program in history with nearly 1.8 million viewers.

The Five continued to dominate the afternoon averaging nearly 3.9 million viewers and 340,000 in the 25-54 demo. At 6 PM/ET, Special Report with Bret Baier drew over 3 million viewers and 284,000 in the 25-54 demo. Additionally, Tuesday’s program delivered over 3.8 million viewers, outpacing CBS Evening News (3,739,000 viewers).

(1,814,000 viewers; 266,000 A25-54)

Other Media Ignoring Scandal at Mediaite

The mainstream media is largely overlooking a growing credibility scandal at Mediaite, where founding editor Colby Hall has been suspended amid reports that he fabricated quotes and engaged in other journalistic misconduct.

Hall, long known for his combative style, was placed on leave from the Dan Abrams-owned site after the allegations surfaced. He is reportedly fighting to retain his position. 

The controversy has drawn limited coverage outside conservative outlets, reinforcing criticism that major media organizations shield their own when scandals arise.

Mediaite positions itself as a neutral media aggregator and watchdog. However, syndicated radio host Mark Levin and others argue it has evolved into a partisan operation resembling Media Matters for America. Critics point to its pattern of sensational headlines, consistent left-leaning advocacy, frequent attacks on Fox News, conservatives, and the president, and amplification of fringe “Woke Reich” podcasters.  While some staffers at the site maintain higher standards, they are viewed as exceptions rather than the rule.

Breitbart columnist John Nolte captured the sentiment sharply in his assessment of Mediaite’s newsletter, “One Sheet”:

“One Sheet and Mediaite would be in much better shape today had everyone been honest up front: For a monthly fee, One Sheet will make shit up and get things wrong.”

The episode highlights ongoing concerns about trust in digital media outlets that blend aggregation with commentary. While a handful of reports have trickled out, the broader press has remained quiet—consistent with patterns of selective coverage when the target is one of their own.

Where Things Stand: The Shutdown of CBS News Radio

CBS News Radio will cease operations on May 22, 2026, ending nearly 100 years of service that began in 1927. This decision, announced on March 20, 2026, forms part of broader CBS News restructuring and layoffs under President Tom Cibrowski and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.

Direct Impacts on CBS News Staff

Job Losses: All positions in the CBS News Radio team are eliminated. This contributes to a division-wide cut of about 6% of the CBS News workforce, or roughly 60+ employees.

Roles affected include anchors, correspondents, producers, editors, and support staff who delivered top-of-the-hour newscasts, features (health, finance, entertainment), breaking news, and simulcasts of TV programs like 60 Minutes and Face the Nation.

The unit had already been scaled back significantly in recent years, with only a handful of correspondents remaining, and was reportedly unprofitable.

Reactions from staff and unions describe it as a "devastating blow," with tributes to its legacy of objective journalism (e.g., Edward R. Murrow's reporting). The Writers Guild of America criticized the leadership's decision-making.

Impact on Affiliate Stations (~700 Nationwide): Many stations, especially Audacy-owned all-news outlets (e.g., KNX in Los Angeles, WBBM in Chicago, KCBS in San Francisco, WWJ in Detroit, WINS in New York, and WTOP in Washington, D.C.), relied heavily on CBS for national/international headlines, top-of-the-hour roundups (3-6 minutes), bottom-of-the-hour headlines, and special reports.

Audacy (which carries a large share) stated it will source replacement national news coverage. Its stations' core local all-news missions remain unchanged.

Other affiliates must now find alternatives for national feeds. This creates a programming hole that stations are scrambling to fill in the short window before May 22. Many have reassured listeners that local operations continue uninterrupted.Broader Industry and Cultural Impact

End of an Era: CBS News Radio was a foundational part of broadcast journalism, reaching millions weekly at its peak. Its closure symbolizes the shift from traditional radio to podcasts, streaming, and digital audio amid economic pressures and changing listener habits.

Industry Reactions: Mixed—some see it as inevitable cost-cutting in a challenging media landscape, while others (e.g., audio veteran Traug Keller) view it as a shortsighted misunderstanding of audio's value, potentially signaling deeper troubles for radio news. It follows similar moves, like NBC licensing its radio news brand years ago, highlighting consolidation and digital migration.

The shutdown delivers immediate job losses at CBS, operational adjustments for hundreds of affiliates, and a symbolic loss for legacy radio journalism.

Ron Slay

He is highly visible throughout the Nashville community, actively supporting local nonprofit organizations and investing his time and energy into youth sports initiatives - work that reflects both his upbringing and his belief in giving back to the city that helped shape him.

Allison Warren, Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Nashville, said: “Ron Slay is one of the most authentic, magnetic personalities in Nashville. His story, his voice, and his connection to this community are irreplaceable. Locking in Ron long‑term sends a clear message - there’s still so much more ahead, and we’re just getting started.”

Radio Broadcasting

Cumulus Going Private: A federal bankruptcy judge has confirmed Cumulus Media’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, allowing the Atlanta-based radio company to restructure approximately $660 million in debt, wipe out existing shareholders, and emerge as a privately held company with CEO Mary Berner staying in her role.

49ers KNBR Renew: The San Francisco 49ers announced a multi-year partnership extension with Cumulus Media’s KNBR “The Sports Leader.” KNBR AM/FM, the 49ers flagship station since 2005, has brought live broadcasts and the most iconic 49ers moments since 2005. Legendary broadcasters Greg Papa and Tim Ryan will continue calling live 49ers games, as well as pre-and post-game shows.

Where Things Stand: CBS News Radio will cease operations on May 22, 2026, ending nearly 100 years of service that began in 1927. This decision, announced on March 20, 2026, forms part of broader CBS News restructuring and layoffs under President Tom Cibrowski and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.

TV Ratings: ABC WNT Dominates Newscasts

ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir maintained its dominant lead in the evening news race for the week of April 6-12, 2026, topping both total viewers and the key Adults 25-54 demographic. NBC’s Nightly News with Tom Llamas held steady in second place with continued demo gains, while CBS’s Evening News with Tony Dokoupil trailed significantly in third.

Nielsen Live+Same Day Big Data Plus Panel ratings (regularly-titled telecasts only) for the week:

• ABC World News Tonight: 8.417 million total viewers (P2+), 1.067 million A25-54, 785,000 A18-49.
• NBC Nightly News: 6.434 million total viewers, 909,000 A25-54, 642,000 A18-49.
• CBS Evening News: 3.807 million total viewers, 477,000 A25-54, 326,000 A18-49.

ABC led NBC by roughly 1.983 million total viewers and 158,000 in A25-54, while outpacing CBS by 4.61 million total viewers and 590,000 in the key demo. 

NBC comfortably beat CBS by about 2.627 million total viewers and 432,000 A25-54.

Context for the week: Ratings reflected typical spring viewing patterns with no major preemptions highlighted in available data. NBC noted this as its 10th straight week of A25-54 growth, positioning it as the only evening newscast showing year-over-year gains in younger news demos. ABC remained the clear #1 across broadcast and cable news in total viewers for the period.

These figures align with broader 2026 seasonal trends, where ABC has led consistently for years, NBC has shown competitive strength in the demo, and CBS continues to lag despite anchor changes. Full season-to-date averages would place ABC well ahead entering the later spring period.

TV Ratings: NCAA Hoops Powers TV Viewing During Primetime

The week of April 6-12, 2026, saw primetime TV dominated by sports events, season finales, and established broadcast hits, with CBS and ABC leading in key demographics and total viewers among the Big Three networks.

Men’s College Basketball National Championship coverage on Monday (April 6) across cable networks (TNT/TBS/truTV) drew solid audiences, slightly up from 2025. This event headlined the week, boosting cable while broadcast networks mixed finales and regulars.

Broadcast Networks (ABC, NBC, CBS)

• CBS performed strongly with staples like Survivor (0.92 18-49 on Wednesday), Tracker, Marshals, Ghosts, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. It often led nights in total viewers and demo, leveraging procedurals and reality. Shows like The Neighborhood (0.37) gained, though some NCIS franchise entries dipped slightly.
• ABC delivered consistent entertainment wins, led by American Idol (steady at 0.42 on Monday), America’s Funniest Home Videos, Scrubs, Abbott Elementary (up to 0.39), and Will Trent. Finals for High Potential (0.25) and strong 9-1-1 nights helped it compete effectively in the demo.
• NBC relied on Chicago franchise shows (mixed results, e.g., Chicago Fire up, Chicago PD down), The Voice (down to 0.18), NBA coverage, and finales like St. Denis Medical (up to 0.29). It trailed the leaders on several nights but held ground in select slots.

Fox News Digital Has Best Quarter Ever

CBS Masters Final Round Viewership Peaks At 20M

CBS posts strongest Masters final-round viewership in 11 years as Rory McIlroy claims back-to-back titles.

CBS averaged nearly 14 million viewers for Sunday’s final round of the 2026 Masters Tournament, marking the highest-rated final round in more than a decade and matching the audience for Jordan Spieth’s 2015 victory.Rory McIlroy delivered the drama that drove the numbers, successfully defending his 2025 title with a final-round 71 to finish at 12-under par and win by one stroke over Scottie Scheffler. 

The Northern Irishman became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2001-02 — and just the fourth in history — to win consecutive Masters green jackets.

Viewership peaked above 20 million during the closing holes, the largest single-moment audience for the Masters since 2013.

The strong ratings reflect renewed national interest in golf’s first major, fueled by McIlroy’s compelling repeat performance and a competitive leaderboard featuring top contenders. Despite some viewer criticism of CBS camera work on the 18th hole, the broadcast still delivered the biggest final-round audience since 2015.This marks an 8% increase from the previous year and underscores the Masters’ enduring appeal on CBS, even as streaming options continue to grow.

NBA Delivers Strongest Regular-Season Viewership in 24 Years

The NBA’s 2026 regular season concluded with record-breaking television audiences, drawing a total of 170 million viewers across ABC/ESPN, Prime Video, NBC/Peacock, and NBA TV — an 86% increase over last season.

Games aired on ABC, ESPN, Prime Video, and NBC/Peacock averaged 1.78 million viewers per game, the league’s highest average in seven years and a 16% rise year-over-year. When including NBA TV, the overall average reached its highest mark in 13 years, up 35% from the previous season.

A total of 57 telecasts drew at least 2 million viewers, the most since the 2011-12 season, while 19 games averaged 3 million or more. 

Overall, the league generated more than 920 million hours watched, the highest total since 2011-12.

The surge began on opening night, Oct. 1, with a historic double-overtime game that helped deliver the biggest opening-night doubleheader audience since 2010 (excluding the 2011 Christmas slate), averaging 5.6 million viewers across NBC and Peacock.

TV News Remains Most Consumed News Source

A new Video Advertising Bureau (VAB) survey finds that key consumer groups, adults 35-54, individuals in $100K+ households, and full-time employed adults, are watching more TV news than last year and are significantly more likely to turn to TV news first for breaking news rather than social media.

The report, titled “That’s The Way It Is: How TV News Provides Scale, Attention & Engagement For High-Value Audiences,” is based on a December 2025 survey of 2,319 U.S. adults conducted with Dynata. 

It shows that roughly half of these valuable audiences increased their TV news consumption: 52% of adults 35-54, 46% of those in $100,000+ households, and 56% of full-time workers.

These groups also rely on TV news far more than social platforms for major stories and for practical daily information such as weather and traffic updates.

“Multiscreen TV news plays a central role in keeping influential audiences informed,” said Jason Wiese, VAB executive vice president of strategic insights and measurement. “In a media environment filled with misinformation and noise, it continues to stand out for its quality, reliability, accuracy and integrity.”

Wiese added that multiscreen TV news offers advertisers a credible, brand-safe environment that delivers trust, attention, and engagement at scale — particularly when compared to social platforms and AI-generated content.

Federal Jury Finds Live Nation Operated as a Monopoly

A federal jury in New York ruled Wednesday that Live Nation, the concert giant that owns Ticketmaster, violated federal and state antitrust laws by operating as a monopoly in the live music industry.

The verdict, reached after four days of deliberations, marks a major win for the government and 34 states that brought the case. It could trigger significant remedies, including possible divestitures or even a forced breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian will now determine the appropriate remedies in a separate proceeding. The Department of Justice had sought a breakup when it filed the lawsuit nearly two years ago, a remedy Live Nation is expected to fight aggressively. The company will also face monetary damages. The jury found that Ticketmaster overcharged consumers by an average of $1.72 per ticket, with the final damages amount to be set by the judge.

NFL 49ers Extend Broadcast Deal With KNBR

The San Francisco 49ers today announced a multi-year partnership extension with Cumulus Media’s KNBR “The Sports Leader.” KNBR AM/FM, the 49ers flagship station since 2005, has brought live broadcasts and the most iconic 49ers moments since 2005.

We look forward to continuing to provide 49ers fans with outstanding gameday coverage on all KNBR platforms from AM/FM to streaming.”

R.I.P.: Beau Bock, Dean of Atlanta Sports

Beau Bock (1944-2026)

Beau Bock, a larger-than-life Atlanta sports radio and TV personality known for his unapologetically brash style, died last week from heart failure. He was 82.

Born Wally Maher, Bock became a fixture in Atlanta media starting in the 1970s and ’80s, delivering sports commentary on Top 40 radio and local television. In the 1990s, he played a key role in establishing sports talk radio in the city, helping launch both 680/The Fan and 790/The Zone. He proudly called himself the “dean of Atlanta sports.”

“He was boisterous, controversial and fearless,” recalled Yetta Levitt, a former co-host on 94Q/WQXI who worked with Bock in the 1980s. “But he was really just a giant teddy bear. If he liked you, he’d give you a nickname. Mine was Yutes.”

Bock never hesitated to criticize revered local figures, including Hall of Fame Braves manager Bobby Cox and legendary Georgia Bulldogs coach Vince Dooley. He was convinced he offered sharper, more colorful sports analysis than anyone else in town. In a 1984 Atlanta Journal-Constitution profile, he dismissed local TV and radio sports coverage as “disgraceful, pure vanilla. Goosey!” and mockingly referred to the AJC itself as “the fishwrapper.”

“You had to be solid in your beliefs to go after institutions in town and still survive and be marketable,” said “Hometeam” Brandon Leak, a current host at The Fan who worked with Bock in the 2000s. “He had fans who didn’t agree with him but respected his side of the argument.”

That outspoken approach often put him at odds with station management, who sometimes struggled with his “bull in a china shop” style, according to A.J. Cannon, who worked alongside Bock at both The Fan and The Zone. Yet Cannon admired his colleague’s unwavering conviction.

“We were on a commercial break once and I was doubting myself,” Cannon remembered. “Beau shut me down. He said, ‘Hey, you’re A.J. Cannon! Never deviate from what you think if you think it’s right, no matter what anyone else says!’”

Bock was raised in the Bronx by Irish parents, not far from Yankee Stadium, where he earned his first job as a teenager selling hot chocolate. “He looked like a brawler, 100% Irish,” his daughter Grace said.

R.I.P.: Kevin Klose, Former NPR President & CEO

Kevin Klose (1941-2026)

Kevin Klose, the former president and CEO of NPR who transformed the public broadcaster into a major national news network, died Wednesday morning at age 85 from complications of Alzheimer’s disease.

He passed away in his sleep, according to WBUR CEO Margaret Low, a family friend and former NPR news and programming leader who confirmed the death.

Klose was widely credited with stabilizing NPR after years of financial turmoil and internal strife in the 1980s. Under his leadership, the network strengthened its journalistic reputation, expanded its audience, and elevated its standing alongside better-funded commercial networks. Known for his buoyant energy and personal engagement, Klose frequently praised reporters and editors directly and championed international news as central to NPR’s identity.

“Long before it was on the tips of everyone’s tongue, Kevin talked about the importance of quality journalism in a healthy democracy,” Low said Wednesday.

Former All Things Considered host Robert Siegel added: “There used to be a belief in some quarters that the job of president of NPR was too large to handle, except for the example of Kevin Klose.”

During his tenure, Klose shored up NPR’s leadership structure, improved compensation for hosts and staff, and encouraged creative programming to reach new audiences. Notable initiatives included the launch of Day to Day with Slate, The Tavis Smiley Show, and the regular featuring of StoryCorps segments on Morning Edition.

His leadership brought a period of relative calm and growth to the network following earlier near-bankruptcy crises, helping position NPR as a respected leader in public broadcasting.

Radio History: April 16

➦In 1913...Les Tremayne born (Died at age 90 from heart failure - December 19, 2003). He was a radio, film and television actor.

Les Tremayne

Born in England, he moved with his family at the age four to Chicago, Illinois, United States, where he began in community theatre. His mother was Dolly Tremayne, a British actress. He danced as a vaudeville performer and worked as amusement park barker. He began working in radio when he was 17 years old.

In 1974, Tremayne commented, "I've been in more than 30 motion pictures, but it's from radio ... that most people remember me."

His radio career began in 1931, and during the 1930s and 1940s, Tremayne was often heard in more than one show per week. Replacing Don Ameche, he starred in The First Nighter Program from 1936 to 1942. He starred in The Adventures of the Thin Man and The Romance of Helen Trent during the 1940s. He also starred in the title role in The Falcon, and played detective Pat Abbott in The Abbott Mysteries in 1946–47. Tremayne was once named one of the three most distinctive voices on American radio. The other two were Bing Crosby and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In his later years, Tremayne was active in Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters as the group's historian and archivist. Those roles included interviewing people who were active in early radio to provide source material for researchers

Joan Alexander
