CBS is launching a 24/7 soccer channel online (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

The new streaming outlet will have studio shows, live games, breaking news, and more coverage of the world's game.

Now CBS is a major player in the world’s game, and this new project is another example. The timing of this for us, in terms of coverage from the top European leagues, MLS, NWSL, all of that is great, but then to have the Women’s World Cup on top of that right when we’re launching is fantastic.” In fact, CBS does not have women’s World Cup rights; Fox and Telemundo do. Along with the aforementioned three, the network has rights to the UEFA men’s Europa League and Conference League; England’s women’s Super League; Concacaf national team competitions including the men’s Nations League (except U.S. [the popular whiparound show](https://www.inquirer.com/soccer/cbs-uefa-champions-league-golazo-show-whiparound-20201225.html)) and Jenny Chiu, former Union and U.S. The rest of the air time will be filled mostly with re-airs of games from CBS’ various soccer properties. CBS is still pretty new to being a big-time soccer broadcaster. “From a news operation standpoint, we’re going to start out with baby steps, but eventually this is going to be what you would expect it to be: a 24-hour operating network that covers a sport soup to nuts.” ... There’s nowhere to go to have a discussion about that in the moment.” There will also be some number of live games. The show will originate from CBS’ studios in Stamford, Conn., where the network’s Serie A coverage is based. Diehard soccer fans have likely become familiar with England’s Sky Sports News channel over the years when it has been simulcast online here.

'I Produce Money': How Scott Koondel Went From CBS to Startup (Variety)

Former CBS and Paramount executive Scott Koondel details his rebirth as an entrepreneur with Sox Entertainment on Variety podcast 'Strictly Business.'

People say to me, ‘Oh, you’re a producer now?’ And I kind of laugh humbly because there are real producers out there, who are, you know, in the control room and on the floor, getting into the nuts and bolts of making TV. Today, four years after leaving CBS, he’s in a new role that is also indispensable for the current era of media. “It’s not just like selling a show and getting an EP fee and getting paid as an executive producer, it’s about representing other pieces of the puzzle, whether it’s the IP, or a talent, or a writer, or showrunner producer, and having some sort of arrangement in representing them in this project, producing it and then having backend distribution rights, or a format right and then profit participation.

CBS Sports Thinks Streaming 'Golazo' Soccer Channel Will Kick Up ... (Variety)

CBS Sports will launch CBS Sports Golazo Network, a free, ad-supported streaming network devoted to 24/7 soccer coverage.

In August, the company renewed its US media rights to Champions League football matches in a deal said to be valued at more than $1.5 billion over six years. Although many companies have snapped up soccer rights in recent years, Paramount executives “came to the conclusion that there was a market gap” for fans who wanted more than just games.

“When we get into an MLS discussion, this is going to be informed, with people that love the league, talking about it from a perspective that’s not going to be superficial,” said Radovich. “We want to become the go-to when you first wake up in the morning,” said Radovich, “and you want to get caught up to speed on what happened last night — whether it’s MLS or news stories around the world. First thing in the morning, you’re up to speed on those stories.” Radovich grew up in a soccer family — his cousin, Dragan Radovich, was a standout goalkeeper in the old North American Soccer League — and he played the game through college. The “first-of-its-kind,” direct-to-consumer digital network is “dedicated exclusively to global soccer coverage” in the U.S., according to CBS. Radovich, and others at the company, hope the weekday morning offering, “Morning Footy,” fills a void they feel exists in American soccer media. CBS says the new network won’t be focused solely on live broadcasts (and its accompanying pre- and postgame shows). The fan wants a show that is going to cover the sport.
