New York’s own WCBS 880 news radio station will transmit its final broadcast on Aug. 26, closing a chapter encompassing almost 60 years in the city’s history.

Audacy, the company that owns WCBS 880, announced that it signed a Local Marketing Agreement (LMA) with Good Karma Brands (GKB), an ESPN-affiliate broadcasting company that will replace WCBS 880 with ESPN New York.
