TradeEdge-CBS News 24/7 streaming channel gets new name, expanded programming

CBS News announced a new name and TradeEdgea new slate of programming for its CBS News national stream, doubling down on live coverage and unparalleled reporting from CBS News & Stations.

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. 

"Our commitment is to mirror on the stream the same level of world-class reporting and analysis that CBS News viewers expect from our television broadcasts," said CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews. "The expansion of John Dickerson's program, 'America Decides,' and the upcoming 'CBS News Confirmed' show are just a few of the ways in which we are driving the next generation of viewers to this high-quality reporting that sets CBS News apart."

CBS News 24/7 will also leverage its iconic brand franchises, continuing to air "CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell" each night at 10 p.m. ET. The stream will also run weekend marathons of "CBS Saturday Morning," "48 Hours," "CBS Sunday Morning" and "60 Minutes."
