On Tuesday, CBS News announced a new live streaming show featuring one of its marquee on-air personalities John Dickerson.
The CBS News Streaming Network has a new show called "CBS News Prime Time with John Dickerson." The program will stream live weekly, Monday through Thursday, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Dickerson brings plenty of experience to the role from a print reporter, television anchor, correspondent, best-selling author, and host of several podcasts.
"I couldn't be more excited about John Dickerson joining the streaming program lineup," Neeraj Khemlani, president and co-head of CBS News and Stations, said. "John looks at the world the way a historian does. He's fantastic with bringing context, and explaining the why behind the news."
"When you think of prime time in general there is so much opinion out there and we're fortunate to have a steward like John Dickerson anchoring a nightly show on our streaming channel to make sense of the day."
Along with anchoring the new primetime streaming show, Dickerson will remain as a CBS News correspondent. Additionally, he'll play a vital role on election nights and breaking news coverage on CBS and all CBS News platforms.
"What CBS News has developed with streaming is a platform for the basic reason any of us get into journalism – the gift of getting to take the trust our viewers and readers give us and using that obligation to explore the world, figure out what is happening, why it's happening and report back in proportion and the right order," said Dickerson.
"I also love their experimental instincts on the streaming team which I've tried to work on during my career. Leaving print to go into digital journalism in its early stage, starting a podcast 16 years ago when few knew what a podcast was. My hope for this show is that it will evolve like the medium and the news stories that we cover every day."
