And a timetable for CBS to launch CBSN Local to all the other O&O's has been released.

The company today for the first time confirmed its plans to launch a CBSN Local service in the nine remaining markets where CBS has a local television news organization. All nine markets will debut their CBSN Local services by early 2020.

The nine markets included in this expanded launch plan are Chicago (local news content provided by WBBM), Dallas-Ft. Worth (KTVT), Philadelphia (KYW and WPSG), Minneapolis-St. Paul (WCCO), Denver (KCNC), Miami (WFOR), Sacramento (KOVR and KMAX), Pittsburgh (KDKA and WPCW) and Baltimore (WJZ).

bet CBSN DFW will come in handy when Dallas-Fort Worth has a spring time tornado/severe thunderstorm outbreak, cause they would air severe weather coverage non-stop wall to wall and only go on the actual KTVT CBS 11 if it is a tornado on the ground or Dallas, Tarrant, Collin or Denton county are under a tornado warning, so that way, regular scheduled CBS programing wwon't be interupted and won't be forced onto KTXA Texas 21.

Any news junkie in need of a live-Information fix can toggle on to any number of streaming news outlets. Now, TV stations affiliated with CBS can do the same.

CBS News told affiliates in a memo Tuesday that it would allow them to use live coverage from its CBSN streaming-video hub to keep news events on the air even when the network’s traditional reports had come to an end.

On Tuesday, for example, CBS News provided continuous live coverage of the impeachment hearings from CBSN to news affiliates for linear broadcasts, as well as in its own digital outlets. It marks one of the first times the streaming outlet was made available for linear broadcast. –while simultaneously streaming on CBSN.

”We will make CBSN breaking news coverage available to you so you won’t have to go elsewhere to stay competitive,” said Tim Gaughan, vice president of news services at CBS News.

Here is a followup
 
CBSN Bay Area has launched and, according to TVNewsCheck and Broadcasting and Cable, CBSN Minnesota (WCCO-TV) is planning to launch next month.
 
Apparently some of the CBSN outlets have been hit hard by layoffs as part of the fallout from the Viacom merger. Speculation that the concept could fizzle before gaining any traction.

Maybe. Some of the layoffs were due to the merger, others to the revenue loss due to COVID. Plus the closing of the CBS Broadcast Center in NYC continues, with speculation that the building itself may be sold. However, I haven't heard of any lack of support of CBSN. In fact that staff has been active filling in for others around the division as needed.

Detroit will never get one because WWJ/WKBD don't have a news department.

Also the Detroit Newscast for WKBD and WWJ are produced from KTVT Dallas.

Its like how WUPA Atlanta has their newscasts produced from WBZ-TV and WCBS-TV. WTOG-TV news is produced at WFOR-TV.
KSTW Seattle's master control is at the KPIX/KBCW offices with weather segments produced by the CBSN Bay Area crew.

The CBS Owned CW affiliates WILL NEVER be considered a part of CBSN Local

As for WWJ/WKBD - Doesn't mean CBSN Detroit can't have a channel & produce it's own LOCALLY produced ONLLINE ONLY newscasts INDEPENDENT of WWJ though
