CBS announced plans for a 24/7 sports streaming channel last year and it now joins the network's other streaming offerings, including its subscription service CBS All Access and its 24/7 news streaming network CBSN. The company says that CBS Sports HQ is based on CBSN's model and infrastructure. Today's launch comes ahead of ESPN's standalone streaming service, ESPN Plus, which is scheduled to launch this spring.

CBS Sports announcers and reporters will also appear on CBS Sports HQ programming. Anchors for the new network's sports coverage include Jorge Andres, Dalen Cuff, Jenny Dell, Hakem Dermish, Jamie Erdahl, Chris Hassel, Casey Kiernan and Nick Kostos. Analysts include Raja Bell, Carlos Boozer, Jim Bowden, Rashad Evans, Rip Hamilton, Danny Kanell, Brady Quinn, Thomas Rongen and David Samson.
