Users of Amazon’s Alexa devices need only ask it to play CBS Radio News to hear the award-winning original reporting, breaking news and longform reports provided to listeners around the world.

Listening to the live stream is one of two options for Alexa users to hear programing from CBS Radio News, the nation’s pioneer and leader in audio broadcast and digital journalism.

To get the full stream, users simply have to say “Alexa, play CBS Radio News.”

For those who want shorter, hourly newscasts, users can visit the Alexa app, search for CBS Radio News and enable the Flash Briefing Skill. Once their devices are set, they just need to say “Alexa, play the news” to hear the latest five-minute newscast.

CBS Radio News has won the premier journalism award, the Edward R. Murrow award, for “Best Newscast” four years in a row and is the original radio news network founded in 1928.
