Just realized that I have CBS Sports Network on my DirectTV package....Watching the GEICO Summer Swing right now...Badger Open.
Not to shabby...Nice to see Roto Grip going up against Motiv.
Motiv factory is back in some of my old stomping grounds in Michigan. Would love to head back there one day to check it out...
The Wolf Open is on Tuesday night at 7pm. I so have to remember to set the DVR since I'll be at an ice cream social :P

I cancelled something I didn't even realize I had and picked up the package with CBS sports in it for the same price earlier in the week.

I couldn't help myself, I had to order the sports package that includes CBS sports. There's no way I can go without watching bowling.

I just hope that CBS Sports has the ability to reach a market as big as ESPN....Their coverage of the PBA and College bowling is not that bad. Was actually a bit relieved at how well they covered Summer Swing.
On a side note, right after the College bowling coverage yesterday, they did a "Classic in Sports" replay of the Celtics vs. Lakers NBA final game Seven from 1984.....was pretty cool watching this again. Brought back memories of when I saw that game the first time!

Nice I missed out on seeing it as I was at kings island with my wife and two of her lil sisters tues. but ya if your into Bowling Mi is the state to be in bowling lanes on every street. I want to go see Motivs factory but my wife said it was too far a drive from where we stay in Mi. :/

I saw a recording of the event last week. Broadcast was OK, definitely not quite up to how ESPN was doing it. Sad to say, but CBS Sports Network is just not carried by as many providers and won't reach the amount of households to do our sport any justice. We will see how they do with the remaining events, I will still be tuning in and watching.

No they won't reach near the audience that they had on ESPN. ESPN is probably the biggest channel on cable television, and 98% of the people in the country don't have, or don't even know CBS Sports even exists

CBS Sports networks used to be VERSA . CBS bought them and changed the name. (I used to sell Dish network, that's how I know)

I just couldn't stand it any longer going without
seeing bowling on TV so I stopped by the cable
office today and signed up for the CBS sports
network along with a bunch more sports channels
and a few other channels included.
Don't forget to set your CVRs - The Wolf Open is on tonight :)

They need to just put it on CBS! Lets get Bowling on Tv! I'm not paying extra for CBS sports to only watch bowling.

The mom - it may depend on if you have a certain direct tv package or not. I have the choice extra package, and get the cbs sports network, but im willing to bet the family and choice packages don't get the channel. It is channel 613
Jaescrub - although we would all love for CBS to show bowling, it would never happen. Too much NFL, NCAA basketball, Golf, and Tennis.
