CBS College Sports To Air Two 2010 NCAA Tournament Games

In what has been a good move since CBS purchased CSTV and rebranded the channel as CBS College Sports, the network has announced it will air two NCAA Tournament games. The games will be in the 5 p.m. ET slot on Thursday and Friday. For the longest time, these games were only available through the local CBS affiliates airing the game, more recently on Mega March Madness, DirecTV’s pay per view package for the NCAA Tournament, or online through March Madness on Demand.

CBS College Sports will pick up the CBS Sports production of both games and you have which games will be picked up in this press release.

…FROM CBS COLLEGE SPORTS NETWORK

CBS College Sports Network will air two out-of-market games of the 2010 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship in their entirety. The broadcasts will be fully produced by CBS Sports with CBS announcers and graphics. The games will air in the areas of natural interest of the competing teams on CBS stations, in addition to CBS College Sports Network.

CBS College Sports Network will air the first-round match-ups between UTEP and Butler in the West region on Thursday, March 18 (4:45 PM, ET) from San Jose, Calif. and Utah State versus Texas A&M in the South region on Friday, March 19 (4:45 PM, ET) from Spokane, Wash. 

Spero Dedes and Bob Wenzel call the game from San Jose, while Tim Brando and Mike Gminski will be on-hand in Spokane to call the action.
