Norman Chad, Lon McEachern Confirmed Commentators for CBS Sports Network's WSOP Coverage
Lon McEachern Norman ChadIf you were hoping Lon McEachern would find a new WSOP broadcast partner this year, unfortunately for you, you're out of luck. All kidding aside, Norman Chad confirmed to PokerNews the dynamic duo will be back in the booth this fall when television coverage for the series shifts from ESPN to CBS Sports Network.
Chad and McEachern have been a staple on TV during the World Series of Poker for 18 years, teaming together on ESPN since 2003. When the WSOP announced in April that the series would move over to a competing cable network, questions were left unanswered about the broadcast team. Would the long-time ESPN commentators switch sides to a rival sports channel?
