CBS News Launches Redesigned Apple TV App for tvOS

CBS has launched a new Apple TV app designed exclusively for tvOS. It features an interface that highlights CBSN's streaming news coverage and curated video playlists. In addition, the app offers native advertising opportunities for showcasing custom content.

Users can tell Siri on Apple TV (4th generation) "Watch CBS News" to immediately launch the new CBS News app and start the full-screen, CBSN live stream with no authentication required.

"Our Apple TV app represents the future of how viewers will consume and interact with video," Christy Tanner, senior vice president and general manager of CBS News Digital, said. "We are taking advantage of the platform's cutting-edge, interactive technology to offer a customizable experience."


"The CBS News app on Apple TV delivers the full breadth of our original reporting and live, anchored streaming coverage combined with a layer of editorial curation, giving news consumers unprecedented flexibility and access to the stories they care about," Nancy Lane, senior executive producer of CBS News Digital, said.
