Up to the Minute (UTTM) is the CBS overnight broadcast which offers hard news, features, interviews, weather, sports, business and commentary. Up to the Minute draws from the full resources of CBS News, including the CBS Evening News, Newspath, affiliate stations, the CBS Radio Network and Reuters Television. It rebroadcasts selected stories from CBS Sunday Morning, 48 Hours, 60 Minutes and Face the Nation.
It premiered on CBS on March 30, 1992 replacing CBS News Nightwatch which had aired since 1982. It is broadcast from 2 AM to 3 AM ET, with rebroadcasts through 6 AM local time, depending on the station.
The show's graphics and set were traditionally several years behind that of the daytime broadcasts, with early-1990s era CBS graphics being used well past the year 2000. These graphics were updated in 2006, and then again in 2009, to match the current look from the CBS Evening News.
Its main competitors are ABC's World News Now and NBC's All Night entertainment block. Regular on-air contributors include John Quain, the show's computer consultant (1998 to present).
