CBS News Boston

CBS News Boston has a straightforward job: cover New England like nobody else can. The morning blocks are heavy on traffic and weather, actual meteorologists, not just taped segments, and the evening newscast earns its reputation for deep local reporting. You won't get the national gloss of a CBS Evening News; instead, it's city council meetings, high school sports, and the kind of corruption story that only a local affiliate would chase. The station's hyperlocal focus means it beats national cable news on Boston stories by hours, if not days. Production values are classic affiliate: clean studio, confident anchors, solid field crews. It's not flashy or experimental, but it's reliable in the way a local paper used to be. If you're a New Englander living abroad, this feed feels like home. For everyone else, it's a reminder that the best journalism often happens at the city level. To watch CBS News Boston online, Tvivu has the live stream.
