“CBS News today announced the launch of a new ad-supported digital streaming news network, making the service available on the CBSNews.com website, CBS News apps for Windows and Windows Phone, and various connected television platforms,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors. “While the Apple TV was not announced as one of those platforms, a CBS News channel is indeed just debuted on Apple’s set-top box.”
“Beyond the live coverage with simulcasts of breaking news,” Slivka reports, “the new channel offers a variety of supplemental on-demand content from sources such as CBS affiliates, CNET, CBS Sports, Entertainment Tonight, and more.”

Still waiting for a la carte internet based subscription AppleTV – e.g. each channel choice is $2.99 per month; allow user to add or delete choices at will; package deals, etc.
Zzzzz. Yeah the current channels on Atv is a bit of hodgepodge. Don’t get me wrong some is ok but UI needs revamped and easier to search, recommend and navigate.
At least the ATV is getting more channels.
yeah, bu† unlike the other tv news sources, you don’t have to watch a 20 second ad for a 30 seconds of “news.” Fsck you CBS.
Getting enough sleep as your spelling looks to be a little off …..
what word do you consider misspelled?
He is using the unix command file-system-check as a euphemism, try it yourself when you’re a bit ticked
allowing the lame street media into my
home is not a step in the right direction, even if it were full-blown and free
Good point, I guess that’s one if the important reasons we all got tv’s in the first place. Escape from CBS Evening Lies with Damn Blather…or whoever the current jackass is reading the teleprompter,
^of
BYUtv App please!
Hid away already like most of the others. I’ll unhide it when the price drops to $1.99/mth without ads.
Presently Bloomberg, Netflix and AOL are my favourites.
Would have been better if it debuted yesterday for the election coverage.
Why are we interested in CBS (Complete BS) at all? I can’t stand any US based ‘news’. I would rather watch European or even Canadian news or perhaps Al Jazeera. I am so tired of sensationalistic tabloid style ‘news’ and propaganda.
Oh, look, another “channel” I won’t watch on my AppleTV.
