Katie Couric to Bring Mainstream Network News to Internet

"As we learned from our simulcast of March Madness on Demand, there is a huge appetite for real time content on the Internet," said Larry Kramer, President, CBS Digital Media. "Viewers increasingly want access to programming when it's fresh, and the Internet allows us to bring our content to them wherever they are and whenever that content is broadcast."

"Viewers can now see the CBS Evening News live, as never before," said Sean McManus, President, CBS News and Sports. "This is a groundbreaking development in making the program available to the largest possible audience. For people who can't be in front of their televisions when the Evening News is on, they can now watch the program live on their computers. It's another giant step towards providing CBS News content to people wherever they are -- in their homes, in their offices, in their cars, on their computers or on their cell phones."

To access the simulcast, viewers will be asked to register so that they view it when the television broadcast is aired in their time zone. The live simulcast and on-demand versions of the broadcast will be advertiser-supported and free to all.
