CBS News announced a new name and a new slate of programming for its CBS News national stream
The CBS News Streaming Network will become CBS News 24/7 on April 22, with a slate of new and expanded programming launching over the next few months.
"CBS News 24/7 is a decidedly ambitious evolution of our streaming efforts," said Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News & Stations and CBS Media Ventures. "Data backs up our bet on a fresh, timely, and distinctive approach to breaking news and live coverage. Our audiences crave it, and we're in the best position to deliver it."
New programming includes a live newscast eponymously named "CBS News 24/7," a first-of-its-kind overnight show called "CBS News Roundup," and "CBS News Confirmed," a program that will examine misinformation. The stream will also expand "America Decides" from a half-hour to an hour and will extend John Dickerson's newly renamed show, "The Daily Report with John Dickerson," to 90 minutes later this spring.
CBS News 24/7 is set to enhance its programming by featuring its well-known brand franchises. "CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell" will continue to be broadcast every night at 10 p.m. ET. Additionally, the stream will include weekend marathons of "CBS Saturday Morning," "48 Hours," "CBS Sunday Morning," and "60 Minutes."
