Has anyone noticed yesterday and this afternoon, CBS has been running the UEFA Champions League Soccer from 2 to 5pm?  Real Madrid is playing Paris St. Germain right now, score is 1 - 0 for Madrid. Of note also is that I had been watching for over 45 minutes before any commercials ran. Ads are playing during the half time break.  There were many opportunities during the game where commercials could have been placed. The broadcast also doesn't have the feel of a CBS Sports production, looks and sounds like it is being produced by another network.

Not a soccer viewer much so maybe these particular games are important and could attract viewers. Also I do wonder if we will see more live sports on the traditional networks even during the week to fill schedules and attempt to attract a new audience.  These matches were not on TSN or Sportsnet. 



I believe it’s the world feed CBS is using. There are overlapping games so when CBS Sports Network has a game, CBS and CBSN are carrying the overflow.
