Looks like so far that, NBC Sports Network is winning this argument so far. What do you guys think?

I would think so, seeing they are only taking over an already established network (VS)

I watched a lot of CBS sports when they were showing a lot of college stuff and replays of games I missed, but it seems like they have become like espn and replay the dang talk show all day long now

Neither, as in neither will ever have rights to show NFL games, so both are irrelevant to me.

Seems like NBC SN will become the more popular network. Why? Better Ratings and more advertising for the network, while I have yet to see any advertising for CBS SN. Heck, I'm sure there are some people out there that still think it's called CBS College SN.

Programming this first year will lean heavily on the Olympics, 38 regular-season Major League Soccer games, 13 IndyCar Series races, 14 hours a day of Tour de France coverage for most of July, 90 regular-season NHL games along with 50 NHL playoff games, 20 hours of horse-racing coverage around the Triple Crown, and 40 college football, basketball, and hockey games.

NBC Sports Network does have the weekly 'NFL Turning Point' show, which is an outstanding 'Inside the NFL' type show that shows highlights and goes in depth to show key points of games and what made them so key.

Football fans should watch.

Yeah I DVR that and Sports Talk since I've been reading PFT since before they were bought by NBC. I've watched a couple episodes of Turning Point, but as someone with Sunday Ticket and already watching Inside the NFL all week, it ends up being fairly redundant and go unwatched. That content would be better served on NFLN IMO.

I didn't even know CBS Sports Network was even a channel.

CBS Sports Network reminds me of a local access channel.

It was called CBS College Sports Network, then it changed to CBS Sports Network. Still heavily focused on college sports.

IMHO,

NBC:

Notre Dame - despise
Minor League Soccer - despise
French bicyle racing - despise
Olympics "sports" (subjectivly judged circus tricks) - despise
NHL - love
Indy Car - like, but going bankrupt again as it has lost its way, again.
Other hockey - like
Sports talk - great potential, but so far poorly executed

CBS:

Mid-major college football - like/love
College baseball - like
minor college sports - disinterested
Lacrosse - disinterested
lack of sports news or talk - unacceptable

Both, IMHO, need to get some rights to some more sports. But, as of now, NBC is deeper.

The first thing CBS should get is the secondary rights to its own Masters Tournament from ESPN.

Does that mean that PBR Bull Riding has moved from NBC Sports network to CBS Sports Network?
