The Osgood File
Charles Osgood, host of Westwood One's The Osgood File, is heard 4 times every weekday morning on KVAToday & over 400 other radio stations nationwide. Each 3 minute Osgood File focuses on a single story ranging from a breaking development of national importance to a whimsical human-interest vignette. Some of these he does in rhyme, which is why he is known as CBS's Poet in Residence. Osgood's thought provoking broadcasts attract one of the largest audiences of any network radio feature and have won him numerous awards over the last 25 years. The Washington Journalism Review named him Best Radio Reporter in its annual Best In The Business issue 5 years in a row. As anchor of the CBS News television broadcast "Sunday Morning," Osgood has won another Peabody and 3 EMMY Awards.
