CBS Expands 'CBS Mornings' with Third Hour on Streaming and Select Stations

The new segment, featuring Tony Dokoupil and Adriana Diaz, aims to boost viewership and compete with morning show rivals.

The third hour will debut at the end of September on CBS-owned stations and CBS News 24/7 streaming platform.
Tony Dokoupil and Adriana Diaz are expected to co-host the new segment, which will differ slightly in format and name.
CBS Mornings has seen recent ratings growth, particularly in the key 25-54 demographic coveted by advertisers.
The expansion follows CBS News' recent shake-ups, including changes in the Evening News anchor lineup.
The new hour will be produced by Shawna Thomas and her team, with additional hiring planned despite budget cuts.
