NBC FOLLOWS CBS INTO MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

摘要

NBC is joining CBS in adding mixed martial arts to its programming lineup, although unlike CBS, which is broadcasting the events earlier on Saturday evening, NBC will air its fights at 2 a.m. NBC struck a deal with Strikeforce, an MMA-promo-tion company, to produce the fights. NBC will broadcast its first MMA fight, Strikeforce on NBC, April 12 from 2 a.m.-2:30 a.m., following Poker After Dark, a show that it said shares an audience with MMA.
