PBA Offers “Free” Holiday Trial
Subscriptions to Xtra Frame

Just in time for the holiday season, the Professional Bowlers Association is offering a free trial subscription to its dramatically improved Xtra Frame video streaming service through the month of December.

PBA fans who have not yet experienced Xtra Frame can enjoy a month’s worth of exclusive programming during December, including PBA’s special behind-the-scenes “Road to the Show” features which provide unique insights into the upcoming Pepsi Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion and GEICO Shark Championship telecasts which will air on ESPN during the month. The “Road to the Show” features debut on Mondays prior to the ESPN finals.

The Pepsi Viper Championship will air on ESPN this Sunday followed by the Chameleon Championship on Dec. 12, Scorpion Championship on Dec. 19 and the GEICO Shark Championship on Dec. 26 – all at 1 p.m. Eastern.

In addition, the PBA airs New Product Spotlights on Wednesday and Friday, when representatives of PBA Registered Product companies discuss the newest products available to the consumer public.

The latest addition to the December lineup is live coverage of the PBA Regional Players Championship, presented by the Sands Regency, and the Tri-Regional Sands Regency Open leading into the RPI, from the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., Dec. 12-16. Coverage of the Tri-Regional will include qualifying and semifinal rounds on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific, and the match play finals round at 9 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 13.

PBA Regional Players Invitational coverage of the nation’s top regional players competing for exempt berths on the 2011-12 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour will include qualifying rounds Tuesday, Dec. 14, at 1 p.m., and Wednesday at 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., followed by eight-game match play rounds Thursday at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Xtra Frame has undergone a significant transformation for the 2010-11 season in partnership with NeuLion, bringing faster streaming and vastly improved video quality to the PBA online service.
