Oct. 25, 2018 - CBS News and CBS Interactive today announced that CBSN, the 24/7 streaming news service, is now available on Hulu with live TV, making it possible to watch CBSN's live, anchored news coverage through the premium streaming service. CBSN joins Hulu with live TV as part of a previously announced agreement with CBS Corporation that brought CBS, America's most-watched broadcast network, and its popular sports and entertainment channels, including CBS Sports Network and POP, to Hulu with live TV.

CBSN delivers live news coverage and in-depth reporting from CBS News' team of trusted journalists around the world, with a mix of breaking news, live events and newsmaking interviews.

CBSN also recently launched CBSN AM, its first live daily programming in the 7:00-8:00 AM, ET hour.

As CBSN approaches its four-year anniversary, the network continues to drive strong and sustained viewership growth. CBSN set new viewership records in September, which is now the top-ranked month in 2018 for total streams and the second-ranked month of all time, behind November 2016. CBSN also helped drive CBSNews.com to its top-ranked quarter to date for unique visitors and visits in the third quarter of 2018. In addition to Hulu, CBSN is available on CBSNews.com and the CBS News apps for mobile and connected TV devices, as well as the CBS All Access subscription service.
