Bowling on TVS - The Rest of the Story!

Bowling, long a staple on broadcast TV, took a severe hit a decade ago when ABC stopped the coverage that it started with the very formation of the PBA. New PBA owners and a refreshed attitude by ESPN has seen bowling make quite a comeback in the past year. In addition to the PBA action, we are now seeing 'stunt' PBA bowling shows such as showdowns , team action, etc. Good! It's about time to give bowling fans this programming. There are millions more bowlers than golfers but network and advertising executives play golf. If they bowled there'd be plenty of bowling on TV!

Now, TVS Sports.Com is bringing back 'the rest of the story'. First they are putting up classic bowling shows such as the Brunswick Team Bowling from the 1980's; the Miller Team Bowling from Reno; Make That Spare episodes from the 60's; and even Jackpot Bowling classics from the 60's. Next, they've added the stoied LPBT tournaments from the 80's.

Thus year, they've started an ambitious production schedule with new episodes of Las Vegas Celebrity Bowling, Make That Spare, Jackpot Bowling, Pinbusters, Bowlarama, and Bowling For Dollars. Plus, they've started a regular Challenge Cup Bowling series that has already provided much excitement and drama.

The great part about TVS Bowling is that anyone who can knock the pins down can come to Las Vegas and qualify for these events. No politics, to gender issues, no age issues. It's pure competition. Between the great work of the PBA and 'the rest of the story' by TVS, bowlers are again getting a wide array of exciting bowling action on TV.
