· Social Media Integration: Social media posts from the official Twitter accounts for all CBS shows are integrated directly into the app.
Fans without iPads can visit CBS.com for content including videos, games, blogs and contests, for all of the broadcaster‘s new and returning series.
The app also serves as a companion to the CBS Fall Preview, a primetime special previewing CBS‘s new fall lineup, hosted by Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, stars of the comedy series, ‘The Big Bang Theory. The special will air on 8 September, immediately following an episode of the show.
