The new deal will allow it to broadcast a selection of CBS Sports programming, including key NCAA football and basketball contests, for the next two years.
NASN will show more than 25 live NCAA football and basketball games from CBS Sports each year.
This complements the channel’s existing college sports deals with ESPN, Fox Sports and the NCAA among others. The total number of NCAA games on NASN over each of the next two seasons will exceed 200 for basketball and 75 for football.
Said Amory Schwartz, CEO of NASN: “NASN has become a significant player for rights of US sports with the major US broadcasters and it’s great news for the hundreds of thousands of college sports fans in the UK and Ireland that we’ve been able to agree this deal with CBS Broadcast International.”
