Welcome to the new CBS News Atlanta.
Beginning today, the CBS News Atlanta team is covering the latest in local news and weather on WUPA 69.
Team coverage starts with news, weather, and sports at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. on weeknights.
CBS News Atlanta is the first station in the region to deliver its newscasts in a fully immersive AR/VR format, showcasing a virtual set that offers a dynamic experience and rich visuals. Using the technology, the CBS News Atlanta team will break down complex topics — from weather systems to issues impacting your community — with the aid of hyper-realistic simulations and interactive storytelling.
From the newsroom to the control room, the station is powered by journalists, creators and leaders who live in or hail from metro Atlanta, bringing authentic local insight to every story and forecast. CBS News Atlanta’s growing team of community journalists has been working for weeks, gathering stories that put a spotlight on what truly matters to residents. They’ll share those stories every weeknight on channel 69.
