CBS Plans Couric News on Internet, Radio
CBS is planning widespread changes for its "Evening News” program when Katie Couric takes over as anchor in September – including offering parts of the newscast on radio and the Internet. At a gathering of television critics in Pasadena, Calif., on Sunday, Couric and CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus spoke about the "expansive and in many ways unprecedented” changes that will come when Couric replaces Bob Schieffer, the New York Times reports. "The CBS Evening News” is going to be "showcased on the radio,” said McManus, "which is new and it’s different and I think will further expose our product to a lot of people.” The first segment of the TV news program will be simulcast on CBS Radio News and made available to its more than 500 affiliated stations around the country, he explained.
Story Continues Below CBS will also offer on-demand, extended Webcast interviews, done by Couric or CBS correspondents, and daily Web rundowns of the news lineup for the evening TV broadcast, according to the Times.
"Our goal on Sept. 5,” McManus said, "is that whether you’re in your car, on your computer, commuting, listening to your cell phone, or, God forbid, at home watching television, that the CBS news will be available to you.”
