The Championship Gaming Series (CGS) announced today that they have signed a deal with G4 Media. Under terms of this exclusive agreement, G4 will air four 90-minute episodes beginning July 16 devoted to CGS, bringing the league’s competitions to U.S. cable television for the first time. The events being televised will include the CGS 2008 North America Finals and the CGS 2008 World Finals.
“During our first season, Championship Gaming Series established itself as the creator of the world’s most compelling and engaging television programming dedicated to professional video gaming,” said Andy Reif, Chief Executive Officer for CGS. “Although we were a brand-new sports league in 2007, we created an incredibly powerful global television platform with partners including DirecTV, DirecTV Latin America, BSKYB, Star and ESPN-Star Sports, through which nearly 50 million cumulative viewers tuned in to watch our programming worldwide during our inaugural season. For our second season, we continue to grow our audience and worldwide reach and this new deal with G4 will help fans connect to CGS via U.S. cable television, for the first time.”
