This afternoon, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBGI), Silver Chalice and 120 Sports announced plans to combine forces as equity partners on a new multi-platform sports network, featuring a linear broadcast and comprehensive digital offerings.

The network will be built through the merging of 120 Sports' live studio operations, Silver Chalice's Campus Insiders' live collegiate games and Sinclair's American Sports Network's (ASN) distribution and live collegiate games. The overall programming offering will take advantage of the professional and collegiate rights enjoyed by 120 Sports and Silver Chalice to maximize access to a broad array of post-game highlights, up-to-the-moment news, and original, long-form programming as well as full game archives provided by various partners.

I had never heard of it, but apparently the American Sports Network broadcast A-10 and Conference USA games, among others.

And according to this link, the new network will also have a partnership with Twitter, just like CI did.

Oh great. American Sports is just like Campus Insiders with sub-par announcing most times. Bob Sinclair owns media stations in Norfolk, California, and Austin Texas.
He has killed some great radio shows here in Norfolk over the years so this should be interesting.

Only thing that matters is viewership. They have pretty big reach with all of those broadcast companies combined.
