CBS News is preparing to debut a new streaming show called America Decides.
On Monday, May 1st, the new program will begin airing on the network’s CBS News streaming service. The program will air live at 5:00 PM ET Monday through Thursday and will re-air at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM ET.
The program — which will be based in Washington D.C. — will feature Major Garrett, Robert Costa, Nikole Killion, Caitlin Huey-Bruns, Scott MacFarlane, Weijia Jiang, and Nancy Cordes.
America Decides is a reimagined version of the show that currently airs in that timeslot on the streaming platform, Red & Blue, which debuted six years ago.
“The show offers a dynamic, engaging new look and features the top journalists from CBS News’ D.C. bureau, as well as some of the best political reporters from CBS-owned and operated stations,” said CBS News Vice President and Managing Editor Robert Gifford. “With this evolution from Red & Blue to America Decides, we aim to offer facts without opinion, bringing a fresh perspective that will leave viewers more informed and allow newsmakers to speak in a venue that goes beyond soundbites.”
“We’re launching America Decides at a pivotal time in American politics. America Decides will speak to leaders across Washington and listen to voters across the country about what matters to them most. CBS News elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto will also share the latest polling about where Americans stand on the issues and the candidates,” said CBS News Washington Executive Producer Allison Sandza. “Our team in Washington is energized to continue offering a timely digest of the most important political stories of the day.”
