CBS Sports Network(a.k.a.CBSSN)[2]is an Americandigital cableandsatellitetelevision networkowned by the CBS Entertainment Group unit ofParamount Global.When it launched in 2002 as theNational College Sports Network(laterCollege Sports Televisionalso known asCSTV), it operated as a multi-platform media brand which also included its primary website, collegesports.com, and a network of websites operated for the athletic departments of 215 colleges and universities.

After CSTV was acquired by CBS in 2006 (handed over from Viacom who purchased the network the previous year), the network was re-branded as theCBS College Sports Networkin 2008. The network initially maintained its college sports focus, but in February 2011, the service was re-branded as CBS Sports Network to re-position it as a mainstream sports service. The network continues to have a particular focus on college sports, along with coverage of smaller leagues and events, simulcasts ofsports radioshows from both theCBS Sports Radionetwork andEntercom'sWFAN(formerly owned outright by CBS), and studio and analysis programming.

As of May 2015, CBSSN was available to approximately 61 million pay television households (66.1% of households with cable television) in the United States.[3][4]Updated figures are unknown as they have not been released by Paramount in nearly a decade.

History

The network's roots began in 1999 when Chris Bevilacqua approached the co-founders of theClassic Sports Network,Brian BedolandStephen Greenberg—at that time, running Fusient Media Ventures, a New York-based sports and media company—with the idea for a subscription network featuring college sports 24 hours a day. Under the leadership of Bedol as CEO, the network was originally named theNational College Sports Networkin June 2002, was subsequently renamedCollege Sports Television(CSTV) and launched on February 23, 2003. From their headquarters and studio operations atChelsea Piersin New York City, CSTV was the first independent pay-television channel to be distributed nationwide, having been carried on satellite providerDirecTVat launch.

In November 2005, College Sports Television was purchased byViacomfor $325 million.[5]CBS Corporation(Viacom's legal successor) took control of the network in January 2006. On January 3, 2008, it was announced that CSTV would be integrated intoCBS Sports,with the sports division's executive vice president and executive producer,Tony Petitti,taking over day-to-day operational management of CSTV, which would be overseen byCBS Newsand Sports presidentSean McManus.CSTV co-founder Brian Bedol would become a senior advisor to CBS Corporation president and CEOLeslie Moonves(Petitti has since become theBig TenCommissioner.

In the fall of 2006, CSTV launched more than 100broadbandchannels dedicated to college sports, which feature more than 10,000 live events. The subscription/pay-per-view service, called CBS College Sports XXL, and its portfolio of broadband channels in its All-Access suite, include coverage ofNotre Dame,Southern California,Kansas,Ohio StateandNorth Carolina.

CBS reorganization

[edit]

On February 12, 2008, CBS Corporation announced that, as part of the ongoing integration of CSTV into CBS Sports, that the network would be renamed theCBS College Sports Networkon March 16, coinciding with the start ofCBS's coverage of theNCAA's basketball tournament.Studio shows moved from the original Chelsea Piers headquarters to theCBS Broadcast Centeron West 57th Street in 2012. As part of the relaunch, the network added a new news program,College Sports Tonight.[6]That program was canceled in 2010, however other studio shows (includingInside College FootballandInside College Basketball) still originate from the Chelsea Piers location.

On February 15, 2011, CBS announced that the network would be relaunched asCBS Sports Networkon April 4 (coinciding with the end of the2011 NCAA basketball tournament), to reflect an expansion into non-collegiate sports programming.[7][8]

High definition

[edit]

Ahigh-definitionsimulcast feed of the channel, broadcasting at1080i,was launched in August 2008. Prior to the launch of the feed, the two NCAA basketball tournament games that aired in March 2008, which were presented in HD on CBS, were converted to astandard-definitionfeed. CBSSN uses theAFD#10 broadcast flag to present programming on its standard definition feed inletterboxedwidescreenfor viewers watching through4:3television sets.[citation needed]

For its second installment in 2007, the Collegiate Nationals added sports and other events such as national film and music competitions, as well as a second venue—San Diego.The third year, 2008, brought further changes, as the winter sports events were moved to the Keystone Resort nearBoulder, Coloradoandcompetitive eatingwas added.

In the fall of 2006, CSTV andComcastlaunched theMountainWest Sports Network(colloquially known asThe Mtn.), a network focusing exclusively on theMountain West Conference.The relation with the network also gave CSTV exclusive online and broadcasting rights toNotre Dame's game atAir Forceon November 11, 2006—which caused controversy since CSTV did not have carriage as widely distributed as other networks that have aired Notre Dame games.
