CBS News Now was the de facto umbrella title for a set of hybrid local/national newscasts produced by CBS News and Stations airing on most of the group's CW affiliates or independent stations, with production led by the CBS Local News Innovation Lab at the studios of KTVT / KTXA in Fort Worth, Texas. In markets where the company has a full news operation, the newscast was named after the applicable CBS News Local streaming service, while in other markets (including those where CBS owns a station that carries the newscast, but the CBS network affiliate is owned by a third party) the title followed the format [Location] Now News.

The program, which generally aired at either 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. local time, included short local news and weather briefs, presented by a local anchor (or in some cases a surrogate anchor hosting remotely), but consisted mainly of nationally-oriented news coverage produced in Fort Worth. The newscast's initial national anchors were Tom Hanson on weeknights and Trason Bragg on weekends.
