CBS Sports (PatrZDZ's vision)

**TNT Sports** (formerly known as Turner Sports) is the division of Turner Broadcasting System that is responsible for sports broadcasts on American television network CBS and its parent company's various channels in the United States, including TBS and TNT. It also operates the online digital media outlets for the NCAA, NBA, PGA Tour, and PGA of America. TNT Sports also operates two national sports networks: B/R Live and B/R 360, Bally Sports, a network of regional sports networks, the sports news website Bleacher Report, as well as NBA TV on behalf of the NBA. It also owns a minority share in the MLB Network. Turner also owns WTBS, which is the longtime television home for Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves.

Following Turner's acquisition of CBS in 1994, it was announced in March 1995 that CBS Sports would be dissolved, and its assets dispersed into a new unit. The operations of CBS Sports and Prime Sports regional networks were merged into an entity known as Turner Sports, led by TWI's senior vice-president Sean McManus. In October 2020, Turner Sports announced a partnership with DraftKings to be the exclusive provider of daily fantasy and sports betting information for most Turner Sports and Bleacher Report properties, excluding the NBA due to its league-wide deal with competitor FanDuel.

TNT Sports premier sports properties include the National Football League (NFL), the National Basketball Association, the Major League Baseball, NASCAR, Southeastern Conference (SEC) football, NCAA Division I college basketball (including telecasts of the NCAA men's basketball tournament), PGA Tour golf, the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship.

TNT Sports was honored at the 59th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for Synchronous Enhancement of Original Television Content for Interactive Use for its program March Madness on Demand.
