CBS is airing a special tribute program tonight honoring the life and legacy of Dolly Parton. The network’s news division has assembled a one-hour documentary featuring correspondents and journalists examining the country music icon’s influential career and cultural impact. The program airs at 10 p.m. across CBS affiliates nationwide.
The special will draw from CBS’s extensive archive materials, including a notable 2023 interview between Parton and journalist Norah O’Donnell from the Person to Person series. Additionally, a CBS reporter will broadcast live from Dollywood, Parton’s theme park located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The program will also feature commentary from fellow musicians and entertainers discussing how Parton shaped their own careers.
Viewers have multiple options for watching the broadcast. Those with cable access can tune into their local CBS station at the scheduled time. Streaming services including DirecTV and Fubo both offer free trial periods that would allow viewers to livestream the special without a paid subscription. Paramount+ will also carry the program, allowing subscribers to watch it live or on-demand the following day.
