880 WCBS-AM becomes ESPN New York on August 26, leaving 1010 WINS as the only all-news radio station in NYC.

880 WCBS-AM, a prominent New York all-news radio station with over six decades of service, will transition to ESPN New York under a deal with Good Karma Brands, effective August 26. WCBS owner Audacy aims to strategically reimagine news delivery and seeks FCC approval to leave the historic call letters and rebrand the station as WHSQ-AM. The move leaves 1010 WINS as the only all-news radio station in New York City, and Audacy will continue to own the 880 AM frequency.
