CBS chants broadband mantra for news network
MUMBAI: American broadcaster CBS is looking at broadband as a major platform to hook news viewers. CBS Digital Media and CBS News have announced plans to expand the site CBSNews.com

The new CBSNews.com will include an on-demand, 24-hour news network in the digital broadband space. There will also be a blog Public Eye. it will provide greater openness and transparency into the newsgathering process.
There will be a newly-configured homepage, an on-page video player showcasing the free broadband video of CBSNews.com including over 25,000 clips — and video which is yet to be broadcast on the network;
CBS News has also committed to fully integrate its personnel and other global newsgathering resources. The aim is to provide exclusive, original reporting and commentary around the clock.
