CBS Making Kids' Programming, Local News Streaming Additions

The CBS All Access streaming subscription VOD and livestreaming service will add children's programming to its library starting later this year, including some original programming, CBS said Thursday. The broadcaster also said its CBSN Local, its set of local streaming news services, will accelerate rollout in the 13 major U.S. markets where CBS TV Stations has local news operations. CBSN New York launched in December, CBSN Los Angeles in June, with Boston and Bay Area services to roll out this year. CBS said Thursday it will launch CBSN in remaining markets in early 2020. Those markets are Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Denver, Miami, Sacramento, Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
