College Sports Television (CSTV) Networks, Inc. is a cable programming network dedicated to college sports. It was the first 24/7 network devoted to College Sports to launch. In November 2005, CBS Corporation purchased CSTV for $325 million.

CSTV studios are based in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York, NY. They are located at the Chelsea Piers complex which stretches from Piers 59 to 62 along the Hudson River.

Programming features in-depth, original news and information and exclusive games and championships of over 35 men's and women's sports from almost every major conference.

The founders of CSTV were Brian Bedol and Steve Greenberg, who also established Classic Sports Network (now ESPN Classic). The network went on the air April 7, 2003, with postgame coverage following Syracuse's win over Kansas to win the 2003 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.
