Some stations and affiliates, including CBS Television Stations, carry a rebroadcast of the CBS Evening News in the first half-hour they air or leading into their morning newscasts (except Sunday into Monday morning, when—except for KCNC—Face the Nation is substituted).
The program was originally anchored by Russ Mitchell and Monica Gayle, who both left the program in 1993 (Gayle subsequently became co-anchor of the CBS Morning News), and were replaced by Troy Roberts, at which point the program switched to the single-anchor format which it used for the rest of its run; production of the newscast returned to the CBS Broadcast Center in New York, situated in front of a working newsroom used by the affiliate news service CBS Newspath.
Regular on-air contributors to Up to the Minute included John Quain, who served as the program's technology consultant beginning in 1998.
The newsroom behind the anchors was also covered by frosted-glass paneling, likely to hide the equally outdated CBS News and Up to the Minute branding mounted along the walls.
In terms of content, the show was largely unchanged from its predecessor, except it no longer had a dedicated anchor.
Much of the program now consisted of repackaged segments from the CBS Evening News, introduced by its anchor using footage from the earlier broadcast.
The new program returns to having a having a dedicated anchor, with Matt Pieper hosting on Mondays, and Shanelle Kaul for the remainder of the week.
