Here's an overview of CSTV:
Millions of college sports fans have been looking for a home. Every college sports fan has a specific reason why he or she follows college sports. Some find college sports the last bastion of athletic purity, others are enthralled by the heroic and sometimes tragic tales of the young men and women who compete in the sport of their choice. Entire towns will closely follow their local teams, while millions find their loyalty to their alma mater hardly diminished by the distance in miles or years.
Which reason matters most? Which group is more influential? It doesn^t matter, because college sports is not about any one particular group. College sports is about the thing that binds the different groups into one united nation, that thing is Passion.
CSTV will bring all of the tribes together under one roof. We will cover something that matters to every college sports fan. The cable industry will discover one huge, united audience made up of a wide variety of consumer segments.
The CSTV mission is to become the place to go for college sports, no matter the reasons why college sports are important to you, CSTV is where you want to be.
CSTV will cover the rivalries, the passion, the human stories and everything else that makes the world of college sports a great place to be. And we will do it with a passion.
