bureau. Skyview Networks handles the distribution. The broadcast has aired weekly on the network since 2000. The network's then-news director, Mike Freedman, was the creator and first executive producer of the show, with Charlie Kaye as producer. Bill Lynch, former anchor of the '' CBS World News Roundup'' morning edition, was the first host of the ''Weekend Roundup,'' then based in New York. Dan Raviv had a long tenure as anchor of the broadcast, with Washington DC Bureau Chief Howard Arenstein serving as the executive producer and substitute anchor. Arenstein left CBS in late 2016 and Raviv quietly departed a few weeks later. Washington Executive Editor Steve Dorsey anchored for a few years until being replaced by Allison Keyes in 2019. The ''CBS News Weekend Roundup'' is based on the early CBS Radio format of reporters discussing the issues from different points of the world or nation. That 1938 format was not only the basis for the ''CBS World News Roundup'', which airs mornings and evenings on the radio network, but the Sunday morning talk shows that are a staple of American TV. The ''Weekend Roundup'' is also a direct successor to the CBS Radio Network show ''Capital Ideas'', focusing on government and domestic news, which aired during the 1990s from Washington, D.C. and featured correspondents Rob Armstrong and John Hartge as well as Arenstein.
