CBS News 24/7 (formerly known as CBSN and the CBS News Streaming Network) is an American streaming video news channel operated by the CBS News and Paramount Streaming divisions of Paramount Global. Launched on November 6, 2014, it features blocks of live, rolling news coverage, original programs, as well as encore airings of CBS News television programs.

It is available on all streaming devices, via the CBS News website and mobile app, apps on digital media players, co-owned Paramount+ and Pluto TV, and other free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) services.

The success of CBSN prompted CBS to launch similar services for sports and entertainment news—CBS Sports HQ and ET Live—in 2018, in conjunction with CBS Sports and Entertainment Tonight respectively. In December of that year, CBS also began extending the concept to its local television stations, launching streaming local news services in the markets of the network's owned-and-operated stations.

Rumors that CBS News was preparing a 24-hour online news service were first reported by BuzzFeed in October 2013, and later confirmed by a CBS spokesperson who stated that the company was seeking "partners" for the service. Initial reports suggested that the service would consist of a linear, multi-platform streaming channel, featuring video content from other CBS News productions, along with other online-exclusive content; The New York Times likened the rumored format to an all-news radio station, combining pre-recorded video content with regular, live news updates.{{cite news|title=CBS said to be developing streaming news channel|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/30/business/media/cbs-said-to-be-developing-streaming-news-channel.html?_r=0|access-date=November 5, 2014|date=October 30, 2013|work=The New York Times}} On May 15, 2014, CBS Corporation CEO Leslie Moonves confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Television that the company was working on the service. Describing it as an "exciting alternative to cable news", he went on to say that "there is so much information that we get every day that doesn’t fit into a 22-minute newscast at 6:30 or CBS This Morning".{{cite news|title=Leslie Moonves: CBS working on 24-hour digital news channel — Not working on bringing Joel McHale to late-night TV|url=https://deadline.com/2014/05/cbs-digital-news-channel-joel-mchale-not-replacing-craig-ferguson-neil-patrick-harris-not-offered-david-letterman-job-731263/|access-date=November 5, 2014|work=Deadline Hollywood|date=May 15, 2014}}

In October 2014, Capital New York reported that CBS had recently filed for trademarks on the name CBSN as a potential name for the service. It also reported that the content would take place in an informal newsroom setting, and that its interface would consist of a video player with a playlist on a sidebar, and feature social network integration.{{cite news|title=CBS News readies 24-hour 'CBSN' digital network|url=http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/10/8555077/cbs-news-readies-24-hour-cbsn-digital-network?news-image|access-date=November 5, 2014|work=Capital New York|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923223541/http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/10/8555077/cbs-news-readies-24-hour-cbsn-digital-network?news-image|archive-date=September 23, 2015|url-status=dead}} On November 5, 2014, during a Re/code conference in Dublin, CBS Interactive President Jim Lanzone announced that the service would officially launch on November 6, 2014.{{cite news|title=CBS turns on new CBSN live, online news service|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/personal/2014/11/06/cbs-news-live-online-channel/18586477/|access-date=November 6, 2014|work=USA Today|date=November 6, 2014}}{{cite news|title=CBS News to launch video-streaming service Thursday|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cbs-news-to-launch-video-streaming-service-thursday-1201348413/|access-date=November 5, 2014|work=Variety|date=November 5, 2014}} CBS News President David Rhodes explained that CBSN was not designed to compete directly with traditional pay-television news outlets, but to "create something that is native for connected devices", such as smartphones, tablets, and digital media players.

There was also an emphasis placed on targeting younger viewers, particularly those who are in places with little or no access to television, or those who do not subscribe to pay television at all. As opposed to CNNGo, a similarly formatted TV Everywhere service introduced by CNN prior to the launch of CBSN, CBSN would be available at no charge without requiring users to authenticate with a subscription to a pay television provider. Rhodes argued that requiring authentication would hamper the service's viewership. CBSN uses commercial breaks similar to a conventional television channel; Amazon.com and Microsoft were among the service's initial advertisers.{{cite web|title=CBS News president: 'Not endeavoring' to be a cable news channel online|url=http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/11/8556215/cbs-news-president-not-endeavoring-be-cable-news-channel-online|website=Capital New York|access-date=November 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060130/http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/11/8556215/cbs-news-president-not-endeavoring-be-cable-news-channel-online|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|title=CBS launches first of its kind streaming news network 'CBSN'|url=https://www.thewrap.com/cbs-launches-first-of-its-kind-streaming-news-network-cbsn/|access-date=November 6, 2014|work=The Wrap|date=November 6, 2014}}

In September 2021, CBS announced that CBSN would be rebranded under the CBS News name later in the year; the usage of a single brand for both broadcast and digital news content followed a reorganization that placed all of CBS's news efforts, including at the CBS-owned stations, under the purview of the CBS News division as CBS News and Stations.{{cite news |last1=Steinberg |first1=Brian |title=CBS to Phase Out CBSN Name for News Streaming Service |url=https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/cbsn-new-name-cbs-news-streaming-1235071267/ |access-date=September 22, 2021 |work=Variety |date=September 22, 2021}}{{cite news |last1=Johnson |first1=Ted |title=CBS News To Change Name Of CBSN Streaming Service |url=https://deadline.com/2021/09/cbs-news-cbsn-name-change-1234842376/ |access-date=September 22, 2021 |work=Deadline |date=September 22, 2021}}

The new branding premiered on January 24, 2022. At this time, the service moved to a new set at Studio 57 of the CBS Broadcast Center, which had been vacated by the replacement of CBS This Morning with the Times Square-based CBS Mornings. It was also accompanied by a slate of new original programming, some of which acting as spin-offs or revivals of segments from other CBS News programs. They include the documentary franchise CBS Reports, The Dish (based on the segment from CBS Saturday Morning), Eye on America, Here Comes the Sun (which features segments and unaired material from CBS News Sunday Morning), On The Road with Steve Hartman, and the interview series Person-to-Person with Norah O'Donnell.{{Cite web|last=Johnson|first=Ted|date=January 24, 2022|title=CBS News Debuts Rebranded Streaming Network With New Slate: Norah O'Donnell, Tony Dokoupil Host New Shows, Gayle King Anchors First 'CBS Reports'|url=https://deadline.com/2022/01/cbs-news-streaming-rebrand-norah-odonnell-gayle-king-1234918153/|access-date=January 26, 2022|website=Deadline|language=en-US}} While the service was primarily branded under the CBS News name, the service was officially referred to by CBS as the "CBS News Streaming Network".{{Cite web|title=CBS News Streaming Network launches from new studio with new programming|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-stations-expand-streaming-networks/|access-date=January 26, 2022|website=www.cbsnews.com|date=January 24, 2022 |language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=Winslow|first=George |date=January 24, 2022|title=CBS News Revamps Its Streaming Operations|url=https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/cbs-news-and-stations-expand-and-revamp-streaming-operations|access-date=January 26, 2022|website=TVTechnology|language=en}}

The success of CBSN led CBS to launch CBS Sports HQ, a similar service devoted to sports news, on February 26, 2018. It provides sports news headlines, game previews, highlights and post-game analysis, and in-depth team, player and game statistics—utilizes resources from CBS Sports and its various digital properties.{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/02/cbs-launches-cbs-sports-hq-24-hour-streaming-network-1202301326/|title=CBS Launches Free 24-Hour Sports Streaming Network CBS Sports HQ|last=Chmielewski|first=Dawn C.|date=February 26, 2018|website=Deadline|language=en}}

ET Live, an entertainment and pop culture news service based on the CBS-produced syndicated program Entertainment Tonight, was launched on October 31, 2018. Developed in collaboration between CBS Interactive and ET distributor CBS Television Distribution, the service covers entertainment news headlines and breaking news, celebrity interviews, feature segments, behind-the-scenes and red carpet coverage, and trends in celebrity fashion, beauty and lifestyle. ET Live utilizes complementary standalone presenters complementary to those featured on Entertainment Tonight—some of whom serve as on-air contributors for the syndicated broadcast—with the parent series' main hosts and correspondents appearing in segments promoting stories scheduled to be shown on the on-air broadcast.{{cite press release|title=CBS Launches "ET Live," a New 24/7 Entertainment News Streaming Network|url=https://www.cbscorporation.com/cbs-launches-et-live-a-new-24-7-entertainment-news-streaming-network/|website=CBS Corporation|date=October 31, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820162830/https://www.cbscorporation.com/cbs-launches-et-live-a-new-24-7-entertainment-news-streaming-network/|archive-date=August 20, 2019}} In July 2022, ET Live was rebranded as Mixible, maintaining a similar scope, but with contributions by other Paramount properties.{{Cite web |last=Haring |first=Bruce |date=July 14, 2022 |title='ET Live' Platform Rebrands as 'Mixible', Will Launch With 'Summer Of Reality' Series |url=https://deadline.com/2022/07/et-live-rebrands-as-mixible-launches-summer-reality-series-1235063777/ |access-date=July 14, 2022 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}

CBS News Local

Following the successful launches of CBSN and other streaming services, CBS created local, direct-to-consumer extensions of CBSN run by CBS Local Digital, in order to bring streaming anchored local and national news coverage across all CBS Television Stations on a 24/7 basis.{{Cite web|author1=Michael Malone|date=December 10, 2018|title=CBS Stations Go Direct-to-Consumer|url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/cbs-stations-go-direct-to-consumer|access-date=February 17, 2022|website=Broadcasting Cable|language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Patel |first=Sahil |date=December 18, 2018 |title=CBS News' streaming video network, CBSN, is going local |url=https://digiday.com/media/cbs-news-streaming-video-network-cbsn-going-local/ |website=Digiday}} The services stream existing CBSN national coverage—which is also used as an overnight and weekend backup feed for the CBSN Local outlets—in conjunction with live streams of local broadcasts and continuing coverage performed by the owned-and-operated stations.{{Cite web |last=Malone |first=Michael |date=December 13, 2018 |title=CBS Television Stations Launch CBSN New York |url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/cbs-television-stations-launch-cbsn-new-york |access-date=February 1, 2022 |website=Broadcasting & Cable |language=en-us}} All services are supported by ad revenue.{{Cite web |last=Eggerton |first=John |date=September 24, 2019 |title=CBS Expands News Access to Boston |url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/cbs-expands-news-access-to-boston |access-date=February 1, 2022 |website=Broadcasting & Cable}} All CBSN Local services are available via Paramount+, CBS News, Pluto and local station websites and apps.

Pluto TV—which already carried the main CBSN service—began carrying CBSN New York and CBSN Los Angeles as well as ET Live and CBS Sports HQ on its lineup on November 12, 2019. The carriage came as the free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service was in the process of becoming a sister property to CBS as part of CBS Corporation's merger with Viacom (which, earlier that year, had acquired Pluto TV from namesake parent Pluto Inc.),{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/pluto-tv-free-cbs-interactive-channels-viacomcbs-merger-1203403367/|title=Pluto TV Adds Three Free CBS Interactive Channels Ahead of ViacomCBS Official Deal Close|last=Spangler|first=Todd|date=November 13, 2019|website=Variety|language=en|access-date=November 22, 2019}} which was completed on December 4, 2019.{{cite news |last1=Littleton |first1=Cynthia |title=CBS and Viacom Complete Merger: 'It's Been a Long and Winding Road to Get Here' |url=https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/cbs-viacom-merger-complete-redstone-bob-bakish-1203424316/ |access-date=December 4, 2019 |work=Variety |date=December 4, 2019 |language=en}} On March 29, 2021, CBS-owned independent station KTXA in the Dallas–Fort Worth market began simulcasting CBSN Dallas-Ft.

By early 2020, CBS had planned to launch CBSN Local services across the remaining markets featuring a news-producing owned-and-operated station that did not yet operate the streaming service.

CBS has not announced any plans to make CBS News Local available in three other markets with a CBS Television Stations property: TacomaSeattle (KSTW), TampaSt. Petersburg (WTOG) and Atlanta (WUPA), all standalone stations in markets where the CBS affiliates are owned by other companies (those stations being, respectively, Cox Media's KIRO, Tegna-owned WTSP, and Gray Television's WANF). In December 2019, it was first reported that CBS was looking to hire journalists for some of the aforementioned stations.{{Cite web|last=Ho|first=Rodney|date=December 11, 2019|title=Why is the Atlanta CW affiliate (WUPA-TV) hiring two reporters when it has no news operation?|url=https://www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/why-the-atlanta-affiliate-wupa-hiring-two-reporters-when-has-news-operation/ZLmMyjOcSwixOkwNIYMZXO/|website=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}} The following month, CBS announced it was launching 10 p.m. weeknight newscasts at WKBD, WUPA, and WTOG hubbed out of KTVT, WCBS, and WFOR, respectively, and confirmed the newly hired multimedia journalists would help produce stories.{{Cite news |last=Malone |first=Michael |date=January 17, 2020 |title=Three CBS-Owned CW Stations Add Nightly News |language=en-us |work=Broadcasting & Cable |url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/three-cbs-owned-cw-stations-add-nightly-news |access-date=March 14, 2020}} The decision was due in part to the rising demand for newscasts from viewers and advertisers alike, and to the successful rollout of CBSN Local thus far.{{Cite web|last=Ho|first=Rodney|date=January 19, 2020|title=The CW launching a localized news program at 10 p.m. in February|url=https://www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/the-starting-hybrid-local-cbs-national-news-program-february/9ZyHFtJP9nOeDtCBfsL6YO/|website=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}} During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, WUPA's 10 p.m. newscast began airing a simulcast of WSBK's 10 p.m. newscast, after CBS suspended all operations at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City.

The CBSN Local services were rebranded under the CBS News name concurrently with the 2022 rebranding of the national service; their names were not changed when the national service was renamed CBS News 24/7.{{cite news |last1=Hill |first1=Michael P. |title=CBS News renaming its news streamer again |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2024/04/09/cbs-247-streaming-network/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |work=NewscastStudio |date=April 9, 2024}} CBS News and Stations co-president Wendy McMahon stated, in an interview with Variety coinciding with the rebranding, that CBS planned to produce 45,000 hours of local programming for the local streams by the end of 2022, including high school sports coverage.{{cite news |last1=Steinberg |first1=Brian |title=CBS Raises Stakes in TV's Broadband News Battle: Top Anchors Will Tackle New Streaming Shows |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/cbs-news-streaming-wars-norah-odonnell-1235160951/ |access-date=January 25, 2022 |work=Variety |date=January 24, 2022}} The services' names were incorporated into the titles of the Now newscasts in markets where CBS maintains a full news operation.

*Exclusive to CBS News 24/7.

According to Moonves, CBSN is designed primarily to leverage the resources of CBS News and other CBS-owned entities to "create exciting, highly competitive new services that meet evolving audience preferences for content consumption"; viewers can watch CBSN live as a linear service, or watch previous segments on-demand.{{cite news|title=CBS debuts CBSN interactive streaming news|url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/80611/cbs-debuts-cbsn-interactive-streaming-news|access-date=November 6, 2014|work=TVNewsCheck|date=November 6, 2014}}

CBSN's programming was impacted by the temporary shutdown of the CBS Broadcast Center in early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. For two weeks in March 2020, CBSN did not produce its regular programming, with CBSN Boston being simulcast on the national service for much of the day.{{cite news |title=CBSN's national feed returns with its own content after coronavirus forced it from its home |url=https://www.mixdexhq.com/tv-news/cbsns-national-feed-returns-with-its-own-content-after-coronavirus-forced-it-from-its-home/ |access-date=April 21, 2020 |work=MixDex |date=March 28, 2020}} During this time, CBS's stations in Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles produced national CBSN newscasts from their local facilities, and certain CBS News programs, such as CBS This Morning, were simulcast with the CBS network rather than delayed. The shutdown of the CBS Broadcast Center also limited CBSN New York's programming{{cite news |last1=Hill |first1=Michael P. |title=CBS New York turns local news over to Los Angeles as studios remain closed |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2020/03/12/wcbs-kcbs/ |access-date=April 21, 2020 |work=NewscastStudio |date=March 12, 2020}} and forced WUPA's 10 p.m. newscast hubbed out of WCBS to become a simulcast of WSBK's 10 p.m. newscast as a substitute.{{Cite web|last=Ho|first=Rodney|date=March 20, 2020|title=CW69's 'localized' Atlanta newscast on March 20 felt very...

As part of the rebranding to the CBS News Streaming Network, CBS announced an expanded lineup of programming that includes revivals of Person to Person (hosted by then-CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell) and CBS Reports; Here Comes The Sun (which featured highlighted Sunday Morning segments); The Uplift, focused on inspirational stories; and programs based on the Eye on America and On the Road segments of the CBS Evening News. Existing programming such as Red & Blue expanded their use of CBS News correspondents, and material from 60 Minutes and 48 Hours are featured in the service's prime time programming. On September 6, 2022, CBS News Prime Time with John Dickerson began airing as part of the service's evening lineup on Mondays through Thursdays;{{cite news |last1=Steinberg |first1=Brian |title=John Dickerson Leads CBS Into Battle to Capture Streaming Viewers for Evening-News |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/john-dickerson_cbs-news-streaming-evening-news-1235360931/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |work=Variety |date=September 6, 2022}} on Fridays, the program's timeslot is occupied by CBS News Weekender.{{cite news |last1=Hill |first1=Michael P. |title=CBS News streamer launches 'Weekender' |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/01/16/cbs-news-weekender-debut/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |work=NewscastStudio |date=January 16, 2023}} Red & Blue was replaced with a new political program, America Decides, on May 1, 2023.{{cite news |last1=Johnson |first1=Ted |title=CBS News To Debut New Daily Streaming Politics Show 'America Decides' |url=https://deadline.com/2023/04/cbs-news-politics-america-decides-red-and-blue-1235334608/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |work=Deadline |date=April 24, 2023}}

In April 2024, alongside the announced rebranding as CBS News 24/7, CBS also announced plans for new and expanded programming, including America Decides and Prime Time with John Dickerson being extended to 60 and 90 minutes respectively (with the latter also being retitled The Daily Report with John Dickerson), and the upcoming new shows CBS News 24/7 (promoted as the "backbone" of the service and leveraging the local and national resources of CBS News in a "whiparound" format), CBS News Confirmed (which will focus on fact-checking), and the new late-night bulletin CBS News Roundup.{{Cite web |last=Hayes |first=Dade |date=April 9, 2024 |title=CBS News Streaming Overhaul Doubles The Number Of Live Hours And Expands Shows Like John Dickerson's 'Daily Report' |url=https://deadline.com/2024/04/cbs-news-streaming-overhaul-24-7-john-dickerson-live-1235879550/ |access-date=April 14, 2024 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}} CBS News Roundup also serves as the CBS network's overnight news program.{{cite news |title=CBS News 24/7 streaming channel gets new name, expanded programming |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-24-7-streaming-channel/ |access-date=April 23, 2024 |work=CBS News |date=April 9, 2024}} Thus far, The Daily Report (now anchored by Lindsey Reiser) remains 60 minutes long and CBS News Confirmed has not materialized as a full show; rather, it is included as a segment in other programs.

On September 4, 2024, CBS announced a third hour of CBS Mornings for the service beginning September 30, CBS Mornings Plus. The hour also airs on selected CBS stations.{{Cite web |last=Korach |first=Natalie |date=September 4, 2024 |title='CBS Mornings Plus' to Launch This Month |url=https://www.thewrap.com/cbs-mornings-plus-third-hour-tony-dokoupil-adriana-diaz/ |access-date=September 5, 2024 |website=TheWrap |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Korach |first=Natalie |date=August 16, 2024 |title='CBS Mornings' Adds 3rd Hour as Network Programming Shakeup Continues |url=https://www.thewrap.com/cbs-mornings-third-hour-network-shakeup/ |access-date=September 5, 2024 |website=TheWrap |language=en-US}}

After anchor changes at the CBS Evening News, a new half-hour extension known as CBS Evening News Plus was introduced in February 2025, which is anchored solely by John Dickerson.{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Brian |date=2024-12-04 |title=‘CBS Evening News’ Gets Streaming Companion ‘CBS Evening News Plus’ |url=https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/cbs-evening-news-plus-streaming-john-dickerson-1236234985/ |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Hayes |first=Dade |date=2024-04-09 |title=CBS News Streaming Overhaul Doubles The Number Of Live Hours And Expands Shows Like John Dickerson’s ‘Daily Report’ |url=https://deadline.com/2024/04/cbs-news-streaming-overhaul-24-7-john-dickerson-live-1235879550/ |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=P.
