13 US markets getting local news, sports and features.
US broadcast network CBS has announced the launch of 13 new iPhone apps, delivering local news and video from its stations around the US.
Markets covered include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and Miami, among others.
The apps will offer text and video news, local weather forecasts, Twitter feeds from local reporters and news anchors, as well as content from CBS' national operation.
"The CBS Television Stations applications are a logical extension of our CBS News app," says CBS Mobile boss Rob Gelick. "They give us the chance to engage users at a grass roots level and expose them to the news that matters to them the most."
Treemo Labs developed the apps for CBS, while Transpera is handling the video and pre-roll advertising side of them.
