CBSN EXPANDS LIVE COVERAGE WITH “CBSN AM” at 7:00 AM, ET
“CBSN AM” Marks CBSN’s First Live Daily Programming in the 7:00 AM Window
Oct. 15, 2018 – CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 streaming news network, today expanded its live coverage with “CBSN AM,” its first live daily programming in the 7:00-8:00 AM, ET hour.
“CBSN AM,” led by veteran journalists Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers, will deliver the timeliest and most important domestic and international stories, as well as detail what’s ahead in the news cycle. Green will anchor the full hour with Duthiers joining her at 7:30 AM.
“CBSN viewers have made it clear to us that they want more live coverage in the morning,” said Christy Tanner, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS News Digital. “‘CBSN AM’ will give our audience more depth and insight on the day’s biggest stories and feature more international coverage from our global team.”
Green and Duthiers have built a strong rapport with CBSN’s audience over the past four years, covering the biggest news stories across the U.S. and the world, and “CBSN AM” will extend viewers’ time with them each day.
As CBSN approaches its four-year anniversary, the network’s continued focus on utilizing audience insights to deliver programming viewers want, across all platforms, has helped drive strong and sustained viewership growth. CBSN set new viewership records in September, which is now the top-ranked month in 2018 for total streams and the second-ranked month of all time, behind November 2016. Additionally, CBSN helped drive CBSNews.com to its top-ranked quarter to date for unique visitors and visits in the third quarter of 2018.
Darius Walker is the senior executive producer of CBSN and Rob Gifford is the managing editor.
CBSN is available live, 24/7 via CBSNews.com/live and on all CBS News mobile apps. Stream CBSN anytime, anywhere on your phone, tablet or connected device for iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and game consoles like Xbox and PlayStation.
