I have the press releases from ESPN2 and CBS for Sunday’s U.S. Open action. As you’re aware by now, weather forced the suspension of the second men’s semifinal between David Ferrer and Novak Djokovic in the first set. ESPN2 which was going to airing the women’s doubles final gets a bonus match again. In the […]

For the 5th year in a row, weather has forced the US Open to a Monday for the men’s final. Again, I’ll lobby the USTA to push the Open back a week to finish the tournament on Labor Day. I’ve written about this before, and it makes too much sense which is why it will […]

Earlier today, I posted that the U.S. Open was scheduling the men’s Semifinals an hour earlier, at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday. CBS is putting that one hour of coverage on CBS Sports Network then picking up the first match in progress which will be Tomas Berdych vs. Andy Murray at noon ET. That will […]

Originally, Super Saturday, the men’s semifinals at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadow was supposed to begin at noon ET on CBS. For many CBS affiliates, that is where the coverage will begin. However, the USTA has decided to begin the semifinals an hour earlier at 11 a.m. ET. With CBS locked into its Saturday […]

As we approach the 2012 NFL regular season, let’s take a look at the online streaming plans for the League’s TV partners.

Due to that stupid office move that prevented me from updating the site regularly over the last two two weeks, I wasn’t able to provide some regular features here. I’m slowly getting back on track. Thanks for your patience and continued readership during this period. I’ll make it up to you somehow. I’ll do some […]

Give credit to CBS for giving us a college football game on the very first weekend of the regular season. Usually, CBS has had to concede the first two weekends due to U.S. Open commitments, but it found a way to bring us college football on the first Saturday of the 2012 college football season […]

This office move is killing me. I appreciate your patience through all this. I expect it to be finally over on Thursday and once all is said and done, I should be back to a regular schedule for you. Can’t believe it’s taking so long. Ok, I have the NFL on CBS announcing assignments for […]

No major changes in the NFL on CBS announcing lineup. Since CBS returned to the NFL in 1998, there has been just a few upheavals in its announcing teams. There has been more changes to The NFL Today than the actual announcing teams. Although it appears Don Criqui and Randy Cross who were good to […]

Again, my apologies for not updating the site as much as you are accustomed. The Office Move That Won’t End is continuing and there’s no internet access. Imagine trying to keep informed on a 3G platform. Not easy after having a nice fast wifi router. Anyway, you don’t care about that. You want to get […]
