Moving on to CBS News streaming, a new daily politics programme, America Decides, started tonight from DC bureau. It replaces of Red & Blue, and acts as a build-up for John Dickerson's Prime Time:

In their own words:

CBS News executives are betting that younger audiences want more depth and nuance in news programming. “In this polarized environment, politics often gets a bad rap. People say, ‘I’m not interested in politics,’” says [Anthony] Galloway. “I think what people are not interested in is that fight. They are tired of the on person on the left and the one person on right, generally people on the extremes arguing with each other. You don’t learn a lot from that type of programming.”

[Robert] Costa, who joined CBS News in 2022 after a four-year stint moderating PBS’ “Washington Week,” believes viewers will flock to a hard-news program. “The audience wants respect,” he says. “If you can show the audience respect and bring them really good, fresh information, you can build an audience.”

In weeks to come, says Galloway, executives may look at opportunities to take “America Decides” on the road to debate and convention sites. On some important evenings, he says, there may be plans that involve both CBS News’ streaming and broadcast programs and ways to get audiences to move back and forth between them. “With some of the races last year, it was really effective,” he says. “I think we are going to try to invest and double down on that.”
