CBS Sports Network

CBS Sports Network is a sports-oriented American digital cable and satellite channel that is
operated by CBS Corporation through CBS Sports. Launched as the National College Sports
Network in 2002, then renamed as College Sports Television in 2003, CBS's then-parent company
Viacom acquired the network in 2005 and later renamed it CBS College Sports Network in 2008. The network had always
focused on college sports, but in 2011, CBS rebranded the network as CBS Sports Network as a move to reposition the network
to include mainstream sports—including coverage of minor professional sports leagues such as the Arena Football League and
Major League Lacrosse, although college sports are still aired frequently by the network.

CBS Sports Radio

CBS Sports Radio is a sports radio network that launched on September 4, 2012 with hourly
sports news updates. It began offering a full 24-hour schedule of sports talk programming on
January 2, 2013.[11] CBS Sports Radio although originally owned by CBS Radio is now owned
directly by CBS Corporation and operated by Entercom, with Westwood One handling distribution and marketing of the network.
Sports radio stations that are owned by Entercom and Cumulus Media carry part of the full schedule of programming, while eight
Entercom-owned stations carry network programming throughout the day. In addition to carriage on terrestrial stations, CBS
Sports Radio also streams its programming on the internet.[11]

CBS Sports HQ
CBS Sports HQ is a 24-hour live, free-to-view, ad-supported rolling sports news channel that
launched February 26, 2018. News items are broken into segments with a DVR-like functionality
that allows viewers to check back the story that they've missed earlier.[12] It is a collaboration between CBS Sports and CBS
Interactive.[13] Like its sister station CBSN, it can be watched for free on a multitude of platforms, including smartphones,
tablets, computers, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku. It can also be accessed through the CBS Sports app for iOS and
Android, and CBS All Access.
