Counter-Strike is coming to the dedicated UK sports channel, Sky Sports Extra, sources have told CVG.

Valve and Sky have signed a deal to produce a program based around Counter-Strike tournaments. In case you need reminding Counter-Strike is the massively popular online team-based shooter.

As we understand it Sky has purchased the broadcasting rights from Valve Software for Counter-Strike in the UK and the firm intends run regular TV shows around organised competitions for screening on Sky Sports Extra.

From this they can springboard more games from it.

Hmm well I've had a look around a bit and it seems it's going to be CSS that will be on tv, and it seems it's the Championship Gaming Series that is behind all this. Aslo heres a thread from the CGS forums about the tv coverage of it.
Also on the advertising front I recall seeing something about special player skins that are covered in adverts or something

Yeah, but you have to remember that they are doing it as an audience sport now, it would be a mind fuck to have football teams in 4 different kits on both sides.
