CBS Sports Network's Programming For Super Bowl XLVII Week

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.

For the first time, CBS Sports Network also will have extended post-game coverage.  When CBS Sports signs off its broadcast of Super Bowl XLVII, the post-game coverage continues on CBS Sports Network with James Brown, Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason, Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe on SUPER BOWL LIVE: POST GAME SHOW from the Louisiana Superdome.

“There is no event bigger than the Super Bowl and we’re dedicating more resources than ever before to produce in-depth live week-long programming,” said David Berson, Executive Vice President, CBS Sports and President, CBS Sports Network. “Super Bowl week is a great opportunity to showcase CBS Sports Network to viewers. As the home of Super Bowl XLVII, CBS Sports and its array of platforms will deliver unprecedented 24/7 coverage.”
