CBSN is an internet television news channel operated by the CBS News and CBS Interactive divisions of CBS Corporation which launched on November 6, 2014. As well as being a competitor to the cable news channels operated by the other major U.S. television companies (such as Turner's CNN, Fox's Fox News Channel, NBC's MSNBC and CNBC, and Disney-ABC's Fusion), CBSN was designed primarily as a digital-oriented service; CBSN is distributed solely through the CBS News website, mobile apps, and on television via apps for digital media player devices such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Roku, rather than traditional platforms such as cable television, though since September 21, 2015, some CBSN segments are repurposed on the CBS broadcast network itself as part of the new overnight news program ''CBS Overnight News''.〔 The ad-supported service primarily features content from CBS News along with other CBS-owned properties, hosted throughout much of the day by various CBS News personalities, along with coverage of live events and breaking news. The service is designed primarily to appeal to a younger audience, providing a format that allows viewers to watch CBSN as a linear channel, or to watch segments of its programming on-demand. == History == Rumors that CBS News was preparing a 24-hour digital news service were first reported by BuzzFeed in October 2013, and later confirmed by a CBS spokesperson who stated that the company was seeking "partners" for the service. Initial reports suggested that the service would consist of a linear, multi-platform streaming channel, featuring video content from other CBS News productions, along with other online-exclusive content; ''The New York Times'' likened the rumored format to an all-news radio station, combining pre-recorded video content with regular, live news updates. On May 15, 2014, CBS Corporation CEO Leslie Moonves confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Television that the company was working on the service. Describing it as an "exciting alternative to cable news", he went on to say that "there is so much information that we get every day that doesn’t fit into a 22-minute newscast at 6:30 or ''CBS This Morning''." In October 2014, ''Capital New York'' reported that CBS had recently filed for trademarks on the name CBSN as a potential name for the service. It also reported that the content would take place in an informal newsroom setting, and that its interface would consist of a video player with a playlist on a sidebar, and feature social network integration. On November 5, 2014, during a ''Re/code'' conference in Dublin, Jim Lanzone, president of CBS Interactive, announced that the service would officially launch on November 6, 2014. CBS News president David Rhodes explained that CBSN was not designed to compete directly with traditional cable news outlets, but to "create something that is native for connected devices", such as smartphones, tablets, and digital media players.〔 There was also an emphasis placed on targeting younger viewers—particularly those who are in places with little or no access to television, or those who do not subscribe to pay television at all.〔 As opposed to CNNGo, a similarly-formatted TV Everywhere service that was introduced by CNN prior to the launch of CBSN,〔 CBSN is available at no charge and does not require users to authenticate with a subscription to a pay television provider. Rhodes argued that requiring authentication would hamper the service's viewership. The channel utilizes commercial breaks similar to a conventional television channel; Amazon.com and Microsoft were among the service's launch advertisers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2014/11/8556215/cbs-news-president-not-endeavoring-be-cable-news-channel-online )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CBSN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
