This from the fine people at CBS Sports. With Super Bowl Week fast approaching, the various sports television networks have unveiled their plans to provide programming for the days leading up to the Big Game in New Jersey.
I’ll post what you can expect to watch on CBS, ESPN and NBC’s Family of Networks today. I’ve already posted what’s in store for Fox and Fox Sports 1, but today us for the other networks.
We begin with CBS Sports and with the Super Bowl to be played in the New York/New Jersey area, the Tiffany Network and its affiliated cable networks are ready to utilize their existing infrastructure to cover the NFL’s Championship Game.
CBS Sports Network will be front and center with Boomer & Carton, NFL Monday QB, a daily edition of That Other Pregame Show, ROME and Lead Off originating from New York.
Showtime’s Inside the NFL hosted by James Brown with analysts Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth will be joined by Atlanta Falcons defensive end Osi Umenyiora as they’ll preview the Big Game.
And CBS Sports Radio’s daily schedule will broadcast live from Radio Row in New York.
Here’s the CBS rundown of where everybody will be during Super Bowl Week.
