WCBS 880 AM will run a three hour special on their nearly six decades of news reporting on August 22 (today) from 1400-1700 UTC.

The official change over, according to reports, to WHSQ will be 0401 UTC August 26 but I would tune in earlier to listen/record.  I will be away, not sure if I will be in range or capacity to listen. 

Finally, a site dedicated to WCBS:
