CBS Will Launch Streaming Morning News

CBS will introduce new competition in the morning news war, according to Variety.

CBS News revealed "CBSN AM," a one-hour, streaming, morning program, which launched today.

The stream, anchored by Anna-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers, will be between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. eastern.

"CBSN viewers have made it clear to us that they want more live coverage in the morning," said Christy Tanner, executive vice president and general manager of CBS News Digital. "'CBSN AM' will give our audience more depth and insight on the day's biggest stories and feature more international coverage from our global team."

CBS News isn't the first network to design material to compete with TV news. NBC produces Snapchat-based news program "Stay Tuned."

CBSN is found via CBSNews.com/live and on CBS News mobile apps. Consumers can stream it via iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and game consoles like Xbox and PlayStation.
