CBS shares the NCAA tournament with the new contract, adding TBS, TNT and TruTV (formerly Court TV) so all games can be seen in their entirety on cable systems across the country.
The second day of the opening round starts Friday at noon on CBS with Texas playing Oakland. TruTV starts at 12:30 p.m. with Tennessee-Michigan, while TBS offers Notre Dame taking on Akron at 1:30 p.m. and TNT starts its day at 2 p.m. with George Mason against Villanova.
Each network has four games Friday. TNT covers the formerly barren area between 5-7 p.m., when CBS shows local and national news. So race home from work and watch college basketball the rest of the night.
CBS continues its full weekend schedule starting Saturday at noon and Sunday at noon. TNT has two games Saturday beginning at 6 p.m., while TBS begins its weekend coverage at 7 p.m.
Then it's down to 16 teams, and likely no more basketball on TruTV until next year.
