CBS Sports Network plans to televise six hours of the Longines Masters of New York, a show jumping competition for horses set for April 26-29 at Nassau Coliseum.
The TV partnership is expected to be announced on Thursday.
The event will conclude a two-leg Team Europe versus Team USA competition that began earlier this month in Paris, with Europe winning, 9-6.
The telecast from the Coliseum will include the first live coverage in the United States of the Longines Speed Challenge.
This is the third season of the Longines Masters Series. The first two seasons its U.S. leg was held in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale in January.
