The broadcasting company was sold to Entercom (now known as [[Audacy, Inc.]]) on November 17, 2017.<ref name="entercom-8k-20171116">{{cite web |author=Entercom Communications Corp. |title=Form 8-K |url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1067837/000119312517344727/d460737d8k.htm |publisher=Securities and Exchange Commission |date=November 16, 2017 |access-date=November 17, 2017}}</ref> Although CBS's involvement in radio dates back to the establishment of the original [[CBS Radio Network]] in 1927, the most recent radio division was formed by the 1997 acquisition of [[Infinity Broadcasting]] by CBS owner [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation|Westinghouse]].In 1999, Infinity became a division of the original [[Viacom (1952β2005)|Viacom]]; in 2005, Viacom spun CBS and Infinity Broadcasting back into a separate company, and the division was renamed CBS Radio. It was the last radio group left to be tied to a major broadcast television network, as [[NBC]] divested its radio interests in the 1980s, and [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sold off its division to [[Citadel Broadcasting]] (now part of [[Cumulus Media]]) in 2007.
