ATLANTA – Jan. 29, 2026 – CBS Atlanta today announced the launch of its new weekday morning newscast, CBS NEWS ATLANTA MORNINGS, delivering a community-focused start to the day for viewers across Atlanta. The one-hour morning newscast will feature a team of trusted anchors, journalists and meteorologists presenting hyper-local reporting, immersive weather reporting including a detailed 7-day forecast and national headlines, with a 24/7 monitor look of live feeds from all CBS stations and bureaus around the country.

CBS NEWS ATLANTA MORNINGS is designed to deliver local news that truly reflects the communities it serves, with a focus on county-by-county coverage across the Atlanta metropolitan area. Using advanced mapping technology and on-the-ground reporting, the team will cover stories that matter most from neighborhood developments to public safety, transportation, education, politics, health and economic impact.

“Our goal is to meet viewers where they are in their communities and deliver news that helps them start their day informed, prepared and connected,” said Tom Canedo, president and general manager of CBS Atlanta. “This morning show reflects our commitment to meaningful local journalism, paired with the unmatched resources of CBS News.”

The debut of CBS NEWS ATLANTA MORNINGS marks the latest milestone in CBS Stations’ significant and ongoing investment in the Atlanta market. Over the past year, the Company has expanded its newsroom, launched a groundbreaking AR/VR studio, accelerated hiring across editorial, production and digital teams, and rolled out new local news and weather operations – all designed to build a modern, community-rooted newsroom for one of the nation’s most dynamic media markets. CBS Atlanta’s AR/VR news studio is the first of its kind in the Southeast, the ninth in the CBS Stations group, and only the second fully immersive AR/VR-enabled studio to deliver all the news in the format, transforming traditional news delivery into a dynamic, visually rich experience, enhancing viewer understanding of complex topics.

Together, these investments reflect CBS’ long-term commitment to strengthening and empowering local journalism, expanding storytelling innovation and delivering trusted, relevant coverage that reflects the depth and diversity of Atlanta and its surrounding communities.

Since launching its local news and weather operations in August, CBS Atlanta has quickly gained traction with viewers, surging with more than +150% in year-to-year growth.
