CNN Radio Shutters

CNN is shutting down its CNN Radio unit. Today will be the last day of broadcasts for the department, which focused primarily on long-form audio news stories.

According to TVNewser, 17 staff members for the unit were told about the change Tuesday, and their last day will be Friday. Some may end up getting jobs elsewhere in the company.

“The company completed a review of its radio business and has made the decision to cease production of CNN Radio podcasts, effective immediately,” reads a CNN statement.
