Previously, ESPN and NFL Network had owned the week leading to the Super Bowl with their programming and reporting from various sites in and around the host city. Now, an actual rightsholder is going to provide ancillary programming and a postgame show live throughout Super Bowl week.
CBS Sports Network will piggyback on CBS to provide viewers with the atmosphere and the color within New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. In addition, the NFL Today crew of James Brown, Bill Cowher, Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason and Shannon Sharpe will hit the air on CBS Sports Network as soon as CBS leaves the air to continue with the Super Bowl Live: Postgame Show.
CBS Sports Network will utilize Greg Gumbel to host a nightly two hour show called Super Bowl Live from Tuesday, January 29, 2013 through Friday, February 1 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET.
Other Super Bowl-related programming includes the Tim Brando Show, ROME and Lead Off which will originate from New Orleans. And CBS Sports Network will have a two hour “Inside the Super Bowl” airing afternoons from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily to showcase the action on Radio Row.
We have the extensive press release from CBS Sports Network.
