CBS Debuts ‘Zion Cam’ to Follow Duke Star During NCAA Tournament

CBS will devote a single camera to following Zion Williamson every moment he’s on the court throughout the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. The micro-coverage will make its broadcast debut Friday night when No. 1 seed Duke takes on No. 16 seed North Dakota State University at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C.

CBS Sports producer Marc Wolff stressed that he had never seen CBS dedicate a camera to an individual player throughout his 35 years with the network. “Because of Zion [Williamson], we have added a camera dedicated to him the whole time he is on the floor,” Wolff said according to The State.
