✅🖥️ Variety (6/26): “When the news program “CBS News 24/7” surfaces Wednesday morning on streaming venues, it may surprise the average information junkie. There’s no typical anchor behind a desk here. Instead, on-screen hosts too busy to read scripted lines from a teleprompter will guide viewers from one story to the next, many of which are happening in real time. All are displayed prominently on a screen of insta-feeds from CBS newsrooms around the nation or from points of interest around the world. When it’s time to move beyond the quick headline, or some chatter about what’s happening at the moment, the host is meant to identify the feed, then let viewers hear from people and experts on the ground. It’s entirely possible that a host might start talking to producers and assignment editors while on camera about what’s going on in the feeds and what needs to be looked at first. CBS will stream hours of the show at 10 a.m. from New York, led by Vladimir Duthiers, and at 1 p.m. from San Francisco, guided by Reed Cowan. The streaming audience — seen as being as much as 20 years younger than its linear counterparts — has come to expect to build its own primetime schedule; to decide whether to watch recaps or end credits; and to pause a show at moments of its own choosing. Why wouldn’t it expect new flexibility out of the news?” ⬇️ #streamingtv #ctvadvertising #news #journalism #fast #avod #ott https://lnkd.in/encwBURP
