Professional Bull Riders is moving quickly to find new broadcasting homes.<\/p>\n
Several weeks after agreeing to a deal with Fox Nation<\/a> to broadcast Friday night events, PBR has announced a new multi-year agreement with The CW<\/a>, which will now become the exclusive broadcast home of Saturday and Sunday PBR Camping World Team Series events.<\/p>\n PBR events for CW will debut on Saturday, August 9 and continue for ten weeks before culminating in the league\u2019s final championship tournament on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26.<\/p>\n \u201cWith over-the-air access on Saturdays and Sundays, everyone, no matter where they are, can experience the excitement of bull riding games,\u201d said Sean Gleason, CEO and Commissioner, PBR, in a statement. \u201cThis partnership perfectly complements our existing television schedule, delivering even more thrilling action to fans, making it easier than ever for them to stay connected to the sport they love.\u201d<\/p>\n Both rights deals come on the heels of the bankruptcy of Merit Street Media, founded by TV personality Phil McGraw, and was the previous home for many of PBR\u2019s events.<\/p>\n \u201cPBR on The CW brings a whole new level of grit, adrenaline, and edge-of-your-seat action to bull riding fans nationwide,\u201d said Mike Perman, senior vice president of sports for CW, in a statement. \u201cPaired with the NASCAR Xfinity Series, weekends on The CW will be a can\u2019t-miss destination to experience two of the nation\u2019s fastest-growing sports with some of the most passionate fanbases in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n The CW continues to step up its live sports broadcasting<\/a> since being purchased by Nexstar Media. Along with PBR, the company has broadcasting rights for NASCAR Xfinity Series<\/a>, WWE NXT<\/a>, AVP beach volleyball<\/a>, ACC<\/a> and Pac-12<\/a> football games, and will add PBA professional bowling in 2026<\/a>. The CW will also host the broadcast network debut of the Savannah Bananas on July 27<\/a>, and they are on the hunt for more college football<\/a> to boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Professional Bull Riders is moving quickly to find new broadcasting homes.
