Cumulus Media has ordered a directive to its News/Talk outlets that orders their local and syndicated hosts to no longer discuss anything that has to do with allegations of voter fraud as the 2020 Presidential Election has come to a end or their jobs will be terminated. The move comes just days after the events of the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, which was spurred on by Conservative talkers Mark Levin and Dan Bongino, both vocal proponents of debunked election fraud theories. Another host, Ben Shapiro, was also listed in the memo put out by Cumulus but isn't employed by the company. Already one personality from Cumulus' KMJ (AM) Fresno, Ray Appleton, was suspended after comments about "hanging" news editors, and, in doing so, cited its corporate principles

Radio Disney is scheduled to shut down. The youth-friendly contemporary hit radio service switched to "best-of" programming without disc jockeys on January 1; on the same day, its companion country music service shut down, with its over-the-air affiliate KRDC flipping back to the main Radio Disney service until the shutdown. The station was pulled off of SiriusXM satellite radio on December 31, 2020 but the station continues to stream on iHeartRadio and its own streaming app until it shuts down.
