I'd say it's because there are only a couple of people with access to input to 
WMBR's website, and frankly, they weren't interested. Aside from updating the 
regular program schedule grid and descriptions page each seasons, very little 
in the form of programming announcements ever make their way onto the website.

I don't believe that WMBR's management even planned to make a public statement 
had the News been cancelled. They would've just simply dropped it, and simply 
waited for any listener protests to subside. That's the way I've usually seen 
them operate when popular shows have been cancelled (somewhat similar to how 
commercial stations often deal when cancelling popular shows).

The release of the reinstatement of the News that I pasted in a couple of days 
ago was from the WMBR News Departement, not the WMBR Programming department or 
management.
