CBS has updated its Radio News application with support for Apple’s CarPlay interface.

Users will also find that the Now Playing screen presents them with their local weather conditions.

Also included in the new update is a set of bug fixes for issues such as two audio tracks playing back at once for some users. There is also a new introduction screen that walks users through the functions of the app. CBS News also rolled out a channel for the Apple TV earlier today.

The CBS Radio News app is available for free on the App Store.
