CBS SPORTS HQ is new, free and catered to the modern sports fan. It's a 24/7 streaming news, highlights and analysis network, with a focus on bringing viewers intelligent, news-driven coverage of sports with no filler. 

"CBS SPORTS HQ is another key step in the evolution of the CBS Corporation," said Leslie Moonves, Chairman and CEO of CBS Corporation. "From CBS All Access to Showtime OTT to CBSN, we are creating best-in-class direct-to-consumer streaming platforms that are positioning us to be leaders in the future of premium content distribution. Thanks to the collaboration of CBS Interactive and CBS Sports, I am confident that CBS SPORTS HQ will become our latest success story in that regard."

Here's a look at what we have in store:

What can I expect on CBS SPORTS HQ?

If you're familiar with CBSN, CBS News' 24/7 streaming national news network, then you probably have a general idea of what to expect. CBS SPORTS HQ will focus on bringing you the sports news, information, highlights and analysis in real time.

Our focus is not on loud arguments or bloated diatribes. Instead, we'll have top-level analysts coming on to talk about the sports and storylines that they know best. Want to know what former Cavaliers executive Raja Bell thinks of the Cavaliers' chances in the East? Need the best info from our fantasy baseball experts to set your lineup? Curious about Brady Quinn's insight on what quarterbacks get put through during the NFL Draft process? We've got you.

Prefer other topics? Shows will be broken into segments, with a DVR functionality that allows you to jump to the segment you want to see. You can keep the live window on as long as you want or jump back to the exact topics you want.

"CBS SPORTS HQ is for fans who want more coverage of the game. Sports fans can now get the news and highlights they want in a true, round-the-clock sportscast on any device, where and when they want," said Jim Lanzone, CEO of CBS Interactive and Chief Digital Officer of CBS Corporation. "As with CBSN, which continues to attract a growing audience of digital consumers, we also think there's a tremendous advantage in being first to market with this type of service in a crown jewel category."
