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 three CBS stations with 1 of them showing Alabama and UW-Milw. and the other two shows Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky.

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.

Nope, I only get one game. F*ck CBS, bring the tourney back to ESPN where it belongs.

Not for us in rochester, 606 is VH1 Classic or something then 610 is BET Jazz or something with nothing in between :(

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.

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