CBS News Now
''CBS News Now'' is the ''de facto'' umbrella title for a set of hybrid local/national newscasts produced by CBS News and Stations airing on most of the group's CW affiliates or independent stations, with production led by the CBS Local News Innovation Lab at the studios of KTVT / KTXA in Fort Worth, Texas. In markets where the company has a full news operation, the newscast is named after the applicable CBS News Local streaming service, while in other markets (including those where CBS owns a station that carries the newscast, but the CBS network affiliate is owned by a third party) the title follows the format '' ocationNow News''. The program, which generally airs at either 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. local time, includes short local news and weather briefs, presented by a local anchor (or in some cases a surrogate anchor hosting remotely), but consists mainly of nationally-oriented news coverage produced in Fort Worth. The newscast's initial national anchors are Tom Hanson on weekn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

WVEU became an affiliate of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
