Athens, GA (Apr 6, 2008) - Sometimes when we review our site logs, we scratch our heads at some of the Google referrers. Today, there were a couple of people wondering why CBS Sports is not broadcasting the 2008 World Men's Curling Championship from Grand Forks, North Dakota. Why the answer is simple of course. or so I thought. CBS Sports is not broadcasting the event. But there WILL be a 2-Hour recap show on CBS College Sports Network on May 1, 2008. Here is the text of the information posted on Vikingland Curling:

CBS College Sports Network will broadcast a special, two-hour program on the 2008 World Men's Curling Championship on Thursday, May 1 at 7 p.m.

The show, packaged by Carr-Hughes Productions of Lake Placid, N.Y., will feature highlights from the championships taking place April 5-13 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, N.D.
