CBS News Radio inks new distribution partnership

CBS News Radio has switched distribution partners. Skyview Networks will be the new distributor starting in 2018. The exclusive multi-year agreement ends CBS News Radio’s relationship with Westwood One.

“Our new agreement with Skyview Networks will strengthen our distribution and advertising sales efforts,” CBS News CFO Charles Pavlounis said. “Westwood One has been a fantastic partner for many years, and we thank everyone there for their dedication to CBS News Radio.”

The company said the Skyview deal would “enable CBS News Radio to further strengthen its direct relationship with its prominent family of affiliated stations and control its affiliate relations, marketing, sales, distribution and best-in-class technology in-house.”
