"It's a terrific platform for us, as we extend the CBS Sports portfolio reaching the growing audience of young viewers who get much of their news and information on digital platforms," Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports, said.

The service is available through Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, iOS and Android mobile apps, and computer browsers. CBS said it will offer customers the ability to watch older segments through the app in addition to the live programming.

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 the CBS Corporation.
