NEW YORK (AP) - CBS News is looking to make its perennially last-place morning program more competitive in the ratings by abandoning the format that allows stations to air mostly local news between 7 and 8 a.m.
The new format and other "significant changes" on "The Early Show," will debut Jan. 1, 2008, CBS News President Sean McManus said.
NBC'S "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America" both feature national news and segments for most of their program, and two five-minute inserts for local news during the 7 a.m. hour. For most of the country that watches "The Early Show," the format is the same.
