CBS SPORTS NETWORK LAUNCHES NEW LATE NIGHT SHOW "LEAD OFF"

DOUG GOTTLIEB ANCHORS "LEAD OFF"

CBS Sports Network is speeding up the daily sports conversation with a new weekday late night show, LEAD OFF. Hosted by Doug Gottlieb, LEAD OFF will provide perspective on the sports news of the day, advancing the storylines fans will be discussing in the morning. The one-hour show will air live weekdays (12:00 Midnight-1:00 AM, ET) and debuts Monday, Oct. 22.

Instead of waiting until the morning, LEAD OFF will serve as the first opportunity for sports fans to discuss and debate, 'What's next?'. The show will feature a mix of live guests, highlights, energetic debate and commentary from Gottlieb and others, reacting to the biggest stories and events of the day, with a targeted focus on the hot topics and tomorrow's headlines.

"We are aggressively expanding our programming and launching LEAD OFF is another important step in the evolution of CBS Sports Network. Together with ROME, we're bracketing prime time by providing fans with informative, topical and entertaining programming," said David Berson, Executive Vice President, CBS Sports and President, CBS Sports Network. "LEAD OFF will be a high energy and unique show. Instead of dissecting what just happened as most late night shows do, it will be forward looking, spinning the sports conversation ahead. Doug is perfectly suited for this role."

LEAD OFF marks Gottlieb's CBS Sports Network debut. It was announced in July that Gottlieb will join CBS and be featured across various CBS Sports properties, including hosting a daily radio show on the newly-created CBS Sports Radio, launching January 2013. He also will serve as a studio and game analyst for CBS Sports' college basketball coverage and contribute to CBSSports.com.

LEAD OFF will be produced by dick clark productions, and originate from CBS Sports Network's Orange County, California-based studio.
