Just wanted to chronicle a few talent changes on some of the national radio news broadcasts that didn't otherwise make much news. If I get this stuff posted here, it'll exist on the internet for posterity.
CBS
Heather Bosch exited as a New York National Correspondent and Anchor in June. She had been anchoring Sunday mornings for the last five years, and Monday AM Drive bottom of the hour newscasts for the last year as well as reporting during the week. She relocated with her husband and kids to the Seattle area for family reasons.
I listed to her work at KIRO-Seattle for years and know she's an incredible reporter and writer. Tough loss for CBS as everyone anchoring there during the week except Steve Kathan is over 60 years old. They're not going to last forever. Additionally, with her gone, CBS Radio News does not have a full time correspondent working as a reporter in New York.
Here's her farewell Reporter's Notebook. http://audio.cbsradionewsfeed.com/2016/06/21/13/21ReportersNotebook_1801_3500614.mp3
Meanwhile, in Washington, freelancer Steve Dorsey has changed his title on his twitter to "Executive Editor / Reporter" and covered the Republican National Convention last week. He's a good, enthusiastic young reporter whose radio delivery isn't as polished as it could be, but should be interesting to hear develop over time.
Fox News Radio
Longtime ABC correspondent Steve Taylor, who has been covering afternoon breaking news in DC for Fox News Radio the last five years retired in June.

Jack Callaghan has taken over anchoring the overnight 5-minute newscasts on Sunday and Monday nights (when Tom Graham, Bill Vitka's replacement, is off) from Rich Dennison. Callaghan has a tremendous voice and delivery style that I love listening to.
NPR
Former Fox News Radio anchor Lori Lundin has been picking up newscast shifts at NPR the last few months.
