CBS College Sports Network has rolled out in Dallas via Time Warner Cable’s system.
The network will be available throughout the North Texas area on channel 195, part of the operator’s digital sports tier.
The primary rights-holder of Conference USA and Mountain West Conference, CBS College Sports' launch will give fans greater access to the SMU Mustangs in the Dallas area and TCU Horned Frogs in Ft. Worth.

The Horned Frogs are scheduled to appear three more times: at Colorado State on Oct. 11, at UNLV on Nov. 1 and at Utah on Nov. 6.
“Dallas is a top college sports market with passionate fans and competitive teams,” said Bob Rose, executive vice president, distribution, CBS College Sports Network, in a statement. “We, along with Time Warner, are excited to provide Dallas area fans with in-depth coverage across all college sports.”
