OT: CBS's Coverage of March Madness

Kudos to CBS. They have three channels set up (on TW Digital Cable in Upstate NY, at least), showing three different games!

You da' man, CBS.

Anybody else getting this kind of great coverage?

My local CBS affiliate has a different game on the HD channel and the regular channel. I am watching the other 2 games on CSTV, using 2 computers.

I have one CBS station and they are giving me Niagara v. Oklahoma. Why not give me a game from my bracket or a game from my region of the country. That Pitt v. Pacific game looks nice.

That stinks. As I said, on Channel 1, it has had a screen with the necessary info all day long... do you have anything on that channel? Also, FWIW, one of the other games is on "WRGB2" (CBS = WRGB) if you get a secondary CBS channel.

Note: Timewarner carrying all these CBS channels only starts to regain favor after they cut off playoff college hockey!!

One of the nice things in Lawrence is having both KC and Topeka stations so we'll get different games from time to time.
