CBS plans to launch its new digital news channel tomorrow, an effort to get the broadcast network into 24-hour news. CBS Interactive head Jim Lanzone confirmed the company’s plans for the news video site during an onstage interview with me at the Web Summit in Dublin, Ireland. Lanzone — who spoke just hours before CEO Les Moonves was scheduled to discuss the network’s third-quarter earnings — wouldn’t disclose the name of the channel. The company’s plans for a digital news site, which first surfaced in reports a year ago, will feature live video from CBS’s TV reporters.
