CSTV and CBS Sports today officially launched Fans Only (www.fansonly.com), a unique interactive website that allows fans to fully create and customize their own online sports destination.  Combining social networking with comprehensive sports content, Fans Only provides the broadest coverage of college and professional sports by aggregating over 5,000 news and information sources, giving users the tools to follow their favorite teams, connect with other fans and develop personalized sports pages.  

Fans Only is a free information and community site, bringing together fans and content from across the world of sports.  The Fans Only platform allows users to interact, compete and share content through virtual tailgates, blogs, user comments, expert ratings, discussion forums and a unique Game Picker application.  Registered fans are able to create and customize their own sports pages, tailoring them to their specific interests and favorite teams, choosing from thousands of news sources and RSS feeds that provide around the clock updates. 

"Everyone consumes sports differently and Fans Only caters to the diverse community of sports fans by giving them the control to design and manage their own personal site," said Patty Hirsch, General Manager, Fans Only.  "Fans Only is a one-stop outlet that simplifies and organizes a fan's sports life, while keeping them updated and connected through a built-in social networking community."

After registering, users can begin developing their own profile and reputation by creating blogs, accruing points through Game Picker, participating in discussion forums and posting comments that are judged by the community as "Rookie" or "All Star."  In addition, Fans Only delivers a variety of multimedia sports content including popular streaming video highlights, statistics, polls, rankings and chats.   Registration is free and fans can sign up at www.fansonly.com.
