Stations that air "CBS World News Roundup"

Except that most places it ran at the bottom of the hour.
Paul Harvey did replace an hourly newscast (first the old ABC Network, then ABC Entertainment) until satellite delivery allowed them to feed both. PH stayed at 8:30am ET, the noon 15-minute moved from 12:30 to 12:06 and some other feed times, while ABC/E moved from :30 to TOH.
Some stations continued to replace an hourly newscast with PH. We did that mornings, but not at noon.

It hasn't been great for a long time. Arguably, Paul Harvey News and Comment was the last great radio network newscast, that is commercial network newscast. All Things Considered is still going strong.
Paul Harvey's News and Comment wasn't a newscast, it was an opinion piece mixed with shameless shilling for his sketchy sponsors.
Just out of curiosity, is anyone who reads spots on the air a "shameless shill for sketchy sponsors?" (I appreciate the quadruple alliteration.)
Including Charles Osgood?
And to hear some people here tell it (including you at times), the MSM has never managed to completely divorce news and opinion. At least Ol' Paul was upfront about his role as a commentator. And unlike the current bunch, he got it done in 15 minutes - not three hours.
His was the last newscast using effective and artistic use of the English language to convey information - not sloppy writing, bad grammar and irrelevant sound bites like among others the current incarnation of the World News Roundup.

Of course the aforementioned Osgood still does daily radio. I'm pretty sure Dave Ross is still around. Maybe not as omnipresent as PH.

I have heard Dave Ross recently, I can't remember where, but he is still active.
Dave Ross is not in the same league as Paul Harvey in either writing or delivery.
"The Osgood File" has gone downhill even more markedly than the World News Roundup since it became four 90 minute segments each day. He doesn't do poetry much and most of the bits are recycled from the previous night's evening news. Like the rest of radio news, it's sound bites instead of good writing.
Ross pops up all over the place. He does a daily feature for AP Radio and fills in for Osgood. His day job is morning drive on KIRO-FM, Seattle.

CBS O&O KMOX in St. Louis plays the whole thing every morning at 7AM...
