Sports Rap Live and MSN Messenger!

CBS 2's "Sports Rap Live", which airs Sunday nights at 11:30, began a new feature last night. As we reporter earlier, MSN Messenger has become a part of the fifteen-minute sports program. Viewers can add "cbs2sports@hotmail.com" to their contact list in MSN Messenger, and compose a message about the topics being discussed on the show. CBS 2 asks that you include your first name and your hometown. The graphic did not look the same as the one in the promo, and it did not include the hometowns. Only three comments were on the air last night, but I would guess that as more people download MSN Messenger, more comments will make it to the air. As sports anchor Gary Apple said, "Be a part of the action! Get online when we're on the air!"

MSN Messenger and CBS 2's Sports Rap Live!

CBS 2 began airing a new 15-second promo recently. It's with Gary Apple in Studio 43. He says, "Hi, I'm Gary Apple, CBS 2 Sports, and why be out there when the action's in here? Use your MSN Instant Messenger from MSN.com. Give us your feedback during Sports Rap Live, Saturday nights at 11:30 on CBS 2. Be a part of the action. Get online when we're on the air!" It appears CBS 2 will take viewers' comments and put them directly one the lower portion of the screen. Download MSN Messenger and watch Sports Rap Live at 11:30-11:45 tonight on CBS 2.

"America Fights Back" Coverage

This morning on CBS 2, Cindy Hsu and Lou Young anchored special coverage from 7:00-9:00. This week, "Hollywood Squares" returns to CBS 2, but this time at 7:00pm. "Entertainment Tonight" had been occupying the 7:30pm slot for the past two weeks. And "Crossing Over" appears to be returning at 3:00pm Monday (this is according to the CBS 2 Program Guide, but no commercials have been aired announcing this yet). And Kevin tells me that Sports Rap Live has moved to Saturday Nights.

No More "Sports Rap Live"

CBS 2's weekly sports program, "Sports Rap Live", seems to have been canceled. Weekend sports anchor Gary Apple used to anchor the half-hour program, which aired Sunday nights at 11:35. "Sports Rap Live" was not on last night, and has been taken off of the CBS 2 Schedule at cbsnewyork.com.
