This year the NCAA is making sure you can see all the games for March Madness. They are broadcasting every second of the 2011 Tournament which is great for you sports fans, and certainly helps them sell more sponsorships and raise more money that will go towards paying everyone except the players (at least directly and legally). We have a full channel guide for their latest broadcast partner, truTV.
truTV joins your standard CBS, TNT and TNT as a broadcast parter for the 2011 NCAA Tournament and is owned by Turner Broadcasting. truTV is formerly Court TV and has taking over that network's place in the market for delivering such quality entertainment as "Lizard Lick Towing" and "Operation Repo".
To help you find truTV in your area, we've put together this handy channel guide.
