Ad Rants points out that CBS News is putting the finishing touches on a 24-hour broadband news network:

"In a move that ackowledges the shift in news consumption from TV to the web, CBS News has announced plans for the launch of a 24-hour, broadband news network which will become the centerpiece of the network's news delivery platform. The new CBSNews.com site will include broadband video, a weblog, called "Public Eye," written by Vaughn Ververs and on-air reporters will produce online segments throughout the day."

According to CBS execs, the move is a nod to the fact that viewers are "increasingly looking for news and information at all times of the day, not just during scheduled periods, and using the Internet for that purpose."
