WCBS 101.1 FM
About
New York’s AM/FM dial feels incomplete without the steady signal of WCBS 101.1 FM. It’s the largest all-news radio station in the city, and one of the oldest call letters still broadcasting. Here, each hour blends local updates, weather, and traffic with national headlines, keeping listeners plugged in while on the move.
The third-floor studio sits above West 25th Street, just off Broadway in Flatiron. The building’s address—48 W 25th St 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10014—puts it a short walk from Madison Square Park and within reach of Penn Station commuters. Tune in by car or desktop; the signal covers Manhattan and the surrounding metro.
Listeners reach the newsroom by dialing (212) 975-1011 to share tips, request songs, or flag traffic jams they see firsthand. It’s the same line producers use when they need quick confirmation from someone on the scene. On-air voices rotate, but the focus stays on delivering accurate information as events unfold.
Get there by following the maps listing for live updates or a studio visit: directions. Whether it’s the 6 train at 23rd Street or a Citi Bike drop-off, the block is easy to reach. If you need a weather alert at rush hour, you’ll know it first from this tower.
