CBS Sports’ Coverage of 13 PGA TOUR Tournaments Beginning With “MCI Heritage” to be Broadcast In High Definition Television Format Including 5.1 Digital Surround Sound
CBS Sports announced today it will broadcast an unprecedented 13 PGA TOUR events, totaling 80 hours, beginning with the MCI HERITAGE from Hilton Head, S.C., on Saturday, April 17 and Sunday, April 18 (3:00-6:00 PM, ET, both days), in high definition television format. Once again, CBS Sports will broadcast the 2004 Masters® in HDTV on April 8-11. Argent Mortgage Mortgage Company, LLC. will sponsor the HDTV broadcasts of the PGA TOUR.
CBS Sports is the industry leader in HDTV broadcasts. In 2004, CBS Sports, will broadcast 39 weekends of premiere event sports programming in high definition. Historically, CBS Sports’ coverage of the 2000 Masters® was the first golf tournament ever presented live in HDTV on network television, and it is still the only major tournament broadcast in high definition. CBS Sports also presented the first HDTV broadcast of a PGA TOUR event at the 2001 Sony Open. For the last four years, CBS has aired HD productions of the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four and Championship Games, the Masters® Tournament and for the last five years, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
CBS also broadcast the 2001 and 2004 Super Bowls and all of the 2003 and 2004 AFC Playoffs in HDTV. CBS Sports was responsible for the first ever broadcast of a professional football game in high definition format on Sunday, November 8, 1998 when the historic broadcast featured the AFC East Division co-leaders, Buffalo Bills against the New York Jets live on the CBS Television Network. The game was the first of four high definition games presented by CBS Sports during the 1998 season.
