CBSN is a streaming video news channel operated by the CBS News and CBS Interactive divisions of CBS Corporation which launched on November 6, 2014. CBSN was designed primarily as a digital-oriented service; CBSN is distributed solely through the cbsnews.com website, mobile apps, and via apps for digital media player devices such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku, rather than traditional platforms such as television, broadcast or otherwise. Since September 21, 2015, some CBSN segments are repurposed on the CBS broadcast network itself as part of CBS Overnight News.

The ad-supported service primarily features content from CBS News along with other CBS-owned properties, hosted throughout much of the day by various CBS News personalities, along with coverage of live events and breaking news. The feed also serves as a timeshift channel carrying some of CBS News's on-air programming on a short delay. The service is designed primarily to appeal to a younger audience, providing a format that allows viewers to watch CBSN as a live, linear stream, or to watch segments of its programming on-demand.

History

Rumors that CBS News was preparing a 24-hour digital news service were first reported by BuzzFeed in October 2013, and later confirmed by a CBS spokesperson who stated that the company was seeking "partners" for the service. Initial reports suggested that the service would consist of a linear, multi-platform streaming channel, featuring video content from other CBS News productions, along with other online-exclusive content; The New York Times likened the rumored format to an all-news radio station, combining pre-recorded video content with regular, live news updates.^[3] On May 15, 2014, CBS Corporation CEO Leslie Moonves confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Television that the company was working on the service. Describing it as an "exciting alternative to cable news", he went on to say that "there is so much information that we get every day that doesn’t fit into a 22-minute newscast at 6:30 or CBS This Morning."^[4]

In October 2014, Capital New York reported that CBS had recently filed for trademarks on the name CBSN as a potential name for the service. It also reported that the content would take place in an informal newsroom setting, and that its interface would consist of a video player with a playlist on a sidebar, and feature social network integration.^[5] On November 5, 2014, during a Re/code conference in Dublin, Jim Lanzone, president of CBS Interactive, announced that the service would officially launch on November 6, 2014.^[6][7] CBS News president David Rhodes explained that CBSN was not designed to compete directly with traditional cable news outlets, but to "create something that is native for connected devices", such as smartphones, tablets, and digital media players.^[5]

There was also an emphasis placed on targeting younger viewers—particularly those who are in places with little or no access to television, or those who do not subscribe to pay television at all.^[5] As opposed to CNNGo, a similarly-formatted TV Everywhere service that was introduced by CNN prior to the launch of CBSN,^[5] CBSN is available at no charge and does not require users to authenticate with a subscription to a pay television provider. Rhodes argued that requiring authentication would hamper the service's viewership. The channel utilizes commercial breaks similar to a conventional television channel; Amazon.com and Microsoft were among the service's launch advertisers.^[8][9]

The success of CBSN led CBS to launch CBS Sports HQ, a similar service devoted to sports news in February 2018 and [https://newyork.cbslocal.com/live/ CBSN New York], a service focused on New York City area news in December 2018.^[10][11] CBS plans to launch local CBSN feeds for its other television stations starting in 2019. ^[12]

CBSN is now in the Philippines starting April 1 2019.

Programming

According to Moonves, CBSN is designed primarily to leverage the resources of CBS News and other CBS-owned entities to "create exciting, highly competitive new services that meet evolving audience preferences for content consumption"; viewers can watch CBSN live as a linear service, or watch previous segments on-demand.^[14]

CBSN features anchored programming on weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight Eastern Time (ET)^[15]. The service draws content from CBS News along with other CBS properties, such as CBS Sports, CNET, Entertainment Tonight, and CBS affiliated television stations. It airs a looping broadcast of the CBS Morning News from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. ET, morning show CBSN AM from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. ET, and segments from CBS This Morning Monday through Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. ET, one hour after the live East Coast airing. CBSN also features "CBS Milestone" segments, showcasing classic stories and interviews from CBS News programs such as Face the Nation. Both Face the Nation and CBS News Sunday Morning are carried on the channel in their entirety on a half-hour delay from the East Coast network feed and again during the West Coast late morning hours. Although marketed as featuring live programming, CBSN primarily uses hour-long "news wheels" updated throughout the day, but pre-recorded programming can be interrupted for coverage of live events and breaking news when needed.^[14][16]

CBSN airs hour-long blocks of live news each weekday from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. ET, which is then incorporated into their "news wheel". On December 4, 2017, CBSN began streaming the "Western Edition" of the CBS Evening News weekdays at 10:00 p.m. ET immediately following its broadcast airing on the West Coast. In early 2018, Jeff Glor began inserting a specialized opening & closer for CBSN. Weekend live coverage is branded as CBS Weekend News (a title shared with the weekend early-evening news program airing on the linear CBS network), beginning at noon eastern time, anchored by Reena Ninan on Saturdays and Elaine Quijano on Sundays. Weekend coverage is simulcasted on the CBS network during the timeslot previously occupied by the CBS Evening News. During the overnight hours and weekends, live news updates are provided by CBS News Radio at the top of each hour.

Often during breaking news events, CBSN will also show the feed of the local CBS affiliate in the market of the breaking news and show the affiliate's live coverage of the event to compliment their own main coverage with CBS News. CBSN resources have also since been leveraged by CBS's linear news programming; CBS Weekend News launched in May 2016 to replace the weekend editions of CBS Evening News, and is staffed primarily by CBSN anchors and other CBS News journalists.^[17][18]

Previous

As its launch, hosted segments on CBSN were anchored by Don Dahler, Elaine Quijano, Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Vladimir Duthiers. While drawing from existing CBS News correspondents, CBS did not rule out the possibility of hiring new correspondents specifically for CBSN in the future.^[8]

On March 1, 2016, CBS announced that it had hired former ESPN, NBC Sports and Good Morning America anchor Josh Elliott to serve as the lead anchor for CBSN. Of the hiring, CBS News president David Rhodes explained that Elliott needed an "outlet", going on to say that "we're going to need from him as much as he can bring in these different areas of reporting and anchoring. It's another reason it's the perfect place for him because it's kind of unlimited. We have some really hard-working people at CBSN, but we don't have enough of them."^[20] Elliott was fired on February 13, 2017, after CBS executives were caught off-guard by his abrupt announcement that he was to be promoted from CBSN.^[21]
