Infinity Sports Network is an American sports radio network. It debuted as CBS Sports Radio with hourly sports news updates on September 4, 2012, and with 24/7 programming on January 2, 2013.[2][3][4]

Infinity Sports Network is programmed by Audacy, Inc. and distributed by Westwood One. Programming on the network featured reporters and personalities from CBS Sports, CBS Sports Network, and CBSSports.com.[2] Infinity Sports Network is broadcast throughout the United States on radio affiliates and streamed online.[5][6]

From launch until November 17, 2017, it was operated by CBS Radio until its merger with Entercom. Entercom, which later became Audacy, Inc., continued to manage the network under a licensing agreement with CBS.[7] The rights to the CBS logo, but not the name, expired at the end of 2019;[8] the rights to the CBS cross-branding—which had originally been scheduled to expire at the end of 2020, ended on April 15, 2024. At this time, the network rebranded as Infinity Sports Network; the name is a nod to Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, a corporate predecessor to CBS Radio.[9][10]
