Today CBS announced plans to add CBSN their 24/7 news network to CBS All Access starting August 3rd 2017. At first, CBSN will only be on laptops and desktops but this fall CBSN will be added to other devices like Roku, Fire TV, and more.
CBS has been investing heavily into CBSN recently with new original programming and a partnership to bring CBSN to the live TV streaming service fuboTV.
“Bringing CBSN’s round-the-clock news coverage to CBS All Access adds tremendous value for our subscribers, giving them the ability to tune into the latest breaking news and in-depth reporting all within one streaming experience,” said Jim Lanzone, CEO, CBS Interactive and chief digital officer, CBS Corp. “We are pleased with the increasing distribution of CBSN, first as part of fuboTV’s offering and now with availability on CBS All Access. The addition of CBSN perfectly complements CBS All Access’ existing offering of live local and national news coverage from CBS affiliates, CBS This Morning and CBS Evening News, plus on-demand access to programming from 60 Minutes and 48 Hours.”
“CBSN brings high quality original reporting to consumers wherever they are and whenever they want to watch,” said David Rhodes, president of CBS News. “CBSN fits perfectly within CBS All Access and will expose even more viewers to our reporting.”
For now, it looks like CBSN will continue to be free on a wide range of apps. Now though subscribers to CBS All Access will not need a second app to access CBS’s 24/7 news channel.
