The morning edition of the "World News Roundup" is anchored by Steve Kathan, and produced by Paul Farry. The full show runs for 10 minutes, although many stations take only the first eight minutes. There is also a local cut-away at four minutes past the hour for the early edition (like the network's other top of the hour newscasts) and five minutes past the hour for the late edition. The late edition was hosted by Bill Whitney and produced by Greg Armstrong. After Bill Whitney left CBS in December 2016, the late edition was hosted by Dave Barrett until his sudden death on September 19, 2018. Jim Chenevey is now the host of the program. The morning program was hosted for many years by Christopher Glenn, who died in 2006 and was succeeded by Nick Young and later Steve Kathan. Despite the name of the broadcast, it no longer emphasizes world news and often is devoted to the same national, political and lifestyle stories as the shorter top of the hour news broadcasts.
