CBS News 24/7 is a free, continuously streaming anchored news service providing breaking news and original reporting to a global audience.

The service represents a shift toward digital-first journalism, allowing the network to reach viewers on internet-connected devices without the constraints of traditional broadcast schedules.

Launched as a rebrand in March 2023 [3], the service is available worldwide. Users can access the stream through web browsers, the CBS News mobile app, and Xbox One, among other streaming platforms.

According to a CBS News press release, the service is the premier anchored streaming news offering from CBS News and Stations, available free to anyone with internet access.

Susan Zirinsky said, "Our goal is to bring trusted journalism to viewers wherever they are, 24/7."

Beyond its content delivery, the organization manages a diverse workforce. There are 60 union members representing the staff of CBS News 24/7 [1]. The network also reached a tentative contract deal with the Writers Guild of America East for a period of three years [2].

The service focuses on delivering anchored journalism 24 hours a day. This includes a mix of live events and storytelling designed to maintain a constant presence in the digital news cycle.

“"Our goal is to bring trusted journalism to viewers wherever they are, 24/7."”

The transition to a 24/7 streaming model reflects a broader industry trend where legacy broadcasters compete with digital natives for attention. By offering the service for free and integrating it into gaming consoles and mobile apps, CBS News is attempting to capture younger demographics and international audiences who bypass traditional cable subscriptions.
