CBS News is overhauling its streaming news channel with a new name and a slate of programs presented by its big-name anchors that taps into the division's legacy.
The ViacomCBS unit announced Monday that the free ad-supported channel, known as CBSN since its launch in 2014, will become CBS News Streaming. It will also integrate the division's broadcast franchises into the channel — a shift in strategy, as it previously relied heavily on a cadre of lesser-known anchors.
Neeraj Khemlani, president and co-head of CBS News and Stations, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview that the new moniker will signal to streaming viewers that they will see the same level of storytelling and reporting seen on the network's franchises such as "CBS Sunday Morning" and "60 Minutes."
