Broadcasting & Cable, August, 1996 by Dickson, Glen

CBS News is installing NewsMaker Systems' PC-based newsroom automation system in all of its network news operations, starting with the Fishbowl, the main newsroom in its New York headquarters. The CBS NewsMaker project is replacing an outdated NewStar mainframe system with more than 250 new NewsMaker terminals in New York, Washington, London and Los Angeles, all of which will be linked over wide-area networks.

According to Frank Governale, CBS News GM of operations, the DOS-based system already is in place for the Aug. 12 launch of the revamped CBS Morning News, and will be migrating to all of the network's news broadcasts over the next four to six months.
