Professional Bull Riders (PBR) returns to CBS Sports Network on Saturday, Jan. 12 (10:00 PM, ET) and Sunday, Jan. 13 (8:00 PM, ET) with the Chicago Invitational at Allstate Arena in Chicago, Ill. Brandon Bates, PBR Ring of Honor member J.W. Hart and Bullfighter Shorty Gorham call the action on Saturday, while Clint Adkins, Hart and reporter Leah Garcia announce on Sunday.

          2011 Chicago Invitational winner Robson Palermo, who also won last week’s Monster Energy Invitational in New York, has earned the chance to get a “Bonus Bull” following Saturday’s first round. If he reaches eight seconds, he will receive an additional $3,000.

          An encore of the Chicago Invitational airs on Sunday, Jan. 13 (11:00 PM-1:00 AM, ET). As the exclusive television home of PBR, CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network will air more than 100 hours of original PBR event coverage in 2013, culminating with CBS Sports Network’s exclusive coverage of the World Finals from Las Vegas in October.

         CBS Sports Network is available across the country through local cable, video and telco providers and via satellite on DirecTV Channel 613 and Dish Network Channel 158.
