CBS News Minnesota

CBS News Minnesota is the Twin Cities' CBS affiliate, but calling it just a local news station undersells its role in the market. The morning show starts at 4:30 AM with a solid mix of live weather, traffic reports that actually reflect the morning commute, and national CBS Morning inserts that feel less jarring than on other affiliates. The 5 PM and 10 PM newscasts are where the channel flexes its local muscle - deep reporting on Minneapolis city council meetings, school board decisions, and the kind of suburban sprawl stories that non-locals skip. Weather coverage is serious; the station leans into its meteorologists, giving them long blocks that border on obsessive. If you want sparse, generic forecast segments, this isn't it. Graphics are clean, a bit traditional. The overall tone is earnest procedural - not flashy, not cynical. In the landscape of News tv United States, this station exemplifies how local journalism still matters. To watch CBS News Minnesota live online, Tvivu offers the feed.
