"From up-to-the-minute reporting from our new live news desk, signature interviews by Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell, adventures on CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes, true crime on 48 Hours — and reporting out of Washington to Kyiv to Beijing — we're delivering a 24/7 experience with quality journalism from the best news brands in the business."

CBS News' early commitment to streaming has drawn a significant audience, across national and local streaming channels delivering more than 1 billion streams for the second year in a row in 2021. CBS Stations local streams increased a dramatic 37% from 2020, delivering the highest local streams in history.

"CBS News and Stations' local streaming channels are growing at a rapid pace and will continue this year through the significant expansion of coverage in all of our markets, giving us an additional 15,000 hours of live local news per year by the end of 2022," said McMahon. "Our commitment reflects the relevance and importance of local news to audiences across the country. We are excited to launch CBS News Miami today and look forward to completing the rollout of our local streaming channels later this year when we debut CBS News Detroit. Unifying our brands and newsgathering resources positions us to deliver the best local-to-national-to global streaming news experience to our consumers however they want to watch."
