Programming: CBS, not ESPN, will carry the NFL's Pro Bowl next season. At CBS' request, the game will move from Sunday to Saturday night. Says CBS' LeslieAnne Wade: "Saturday night works better for the network."

Pumping up: The NFL awarded its NFL Network TV rights for regular-season games, last month staged its first full-blown Super Bowl pregame show and gave it exclusive TV rights to the recent NFL combine rookie evaluations. Now it has exclusive TV rights to the NFL Europe League starting March 18 and, in April, will go up against ESPN with its first gavel-to-gavel NFL draft coverage.
