B.Ob. Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Video Game Matches to Be Televised on CBS "Tomorrow at noon, CBS, the august home of the Masters and March Madness, will become the first broadcast network in the United States to cover a video game tournament as a sporting event. So viewers flicking channels looking for a ballgame or golf tournament may instead encounter a couple of young guys rocking out on plastic guitars, or some (literally) disembodied digital boxers throwing uppercuts, or a fanciful animated wizard casting a spell. “Who knows, in 10 years we could be looking back on this as a very significant moment,” said Rob Correa, senior vice president for programming at CBS Sports. The network’s broadcast will consist of edited moments from the World Series of Video Games tournament, held in Louisville, Ky., last month."
