‘CBS Mornings Plus’ Set for September 30 Debut


'CBS Mornings Plus,' a third hour of CBS News' flagship morning program, will debut September 30 on a handful of CBS stations and in live streaming

“This expansion of ‘CBS Mornings’ shows a commitment to the brand, and I’m excited to see what this team can do with another hour of real estate to experiment with,” said Shawna Thomas, executive producer of “CBS Mornings” and the new extension. Dokoupil will continue as co-host of the first two hours of “CBS Mornings” along with Gayle King and Nate Burleson. After all, many CBS stations and affiliates already take a syndicated half-hour talk show hosted by Drew Barrymore following the end of “CBS Mornings.” Yet both NBC and ABC have extended their flagship morning programs, “Today” and “Good Morning America.” NBC offers hours of “Today” that are much lighter in tone from the show’s flagship 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. show.
