With last month's news that CBS News Radio will officially sign off for good May 22 after 99 years providing news from across America & around the world, there's an obvious question to be asked. Which national news service will replace it?

WBBM Newsradio 780 AM, which has been Chicago's all-news outlet dating back to 1968 and added an FM simulcast with 105.9 FM legally known as WCFS in 2011, will continue to provide news around the clock even as CBS News signs off next month.

One of the possible replacements may seem kinda weird on a station with a rich history such as WBBM. Right after CBS News announced the end of its nearly century old news service, NBC News Radio made a pitch of its own to provide "Your News. Your Choice. At a Fraction of the Cost."

For a station like WBBM, it would seem kinda weird for lack of a better word to consider being affiliated with NBC News Radio.

Then, there's this story which I'm going to bring to your attention now.

Starting the day after CBS News Radio signs off, Live Channel USA will launch a potential replacement simply entitled "Radio Network News", complete with split studios across the United States & a primary hub in London.

Could this be the potential national replacement for CBS News Radio? You can learn more about Live Channel USA's plan to fill the national & world news void here:
