CBS News 24/7 provides a free, anchored streaming news service accessible to anyone worldwide with an internet connection [1, 2].
This expansion of digital accessibility allows the network to reach a global audience in real time—bypassing traditional cable or satellite barriers.
The service operates continuously, providing coverage 24 hours a day and seven days a week [1]. CBS News said the platform serves as a destination for breaking news, live events, and original reporting [1]. The content is produced by anchors and correspondents operating on local, national, and global levels [1].
CBS News said the service is the premier anchored streaming news service from CBS News and Stations [1]. The network said the platform is designed for storytelling and programs featuring top correspondents [1].
Access to the stream is provided at no cost to the user [2]. This model allows the network to distribute live events and reporting to a broad demographic without a subscription fee [2]. The service is available via the web and mobile platforms [2].
By integrating local and national reporting into a single stream, the service aims to provide a comprehensive view of current events [1]. The continuous nature of the broadcast ensures that breaking news is delivered as it happens [1].
“CBS News 24/7 is free, live and available 24/7.”
The shift toward free, 24/7 anchored streaming reflects a broader industry trend where legacy media organizations move away from traditional cable bundles to capture digital-first audiences. By removing paywalls and regional restrictions, CBS News is positioning itself to compete with both independent digital creators and other global news networks for immediate attention during breaking news cycles.
