Mediacom customers get free preview of CBS college sports
MOLINE -- To commemorate Armed Forces Appreciation Week, CBS College Sports will showcase a memorable series of Army, Navy and Air Force sports, and Mediacom is giving its customers a free preview week to see the channel and watch its special sports coverage that begins October 5.
The week-long preview leads to a historic television day on which CBS College Sports will televise live football competition featuring teams from all three military service branches. The Army, Navy and Air Force football games will be broadcast live from three locations on Saturday, October 10.
Mediacom's preview week for CBS College Sports extends from October 5 through October 11. Customers using a digital cable box automatically receive free access to the channel, 171.
Now promoted as the "new home of Armed Services Football," CBS College Sports is a channel Mediacom carries as part of its Sports Pak in digital cable.
