NCAA Tournament could be on TV Land or TNN this weekend

[Pavan]

I posted this on the March schedule for TV Land on the General Sitcoms board as well:

In case CBS is doing war coverage this weekend, TNN and TV Land could air the NCAA Tournament Basketball games, since ESPN and ESPN2 have other live commitment airings.

CBS FEED, POSSIBLY TO AIR ON THE NEW TNN AND TV LAND IN THE CASE OF WAR:
(All Times Eastern)
TNN:
Second Round
Saturday, March 22nd 3:00p-8:00p
Sunday, March 23rd 12:00p-7:00p

Regional Semifinals
Thursday, March 27th 7:00p-12:00 midnight

Regional Finals
Saturday, March 29th 4:30p-7:00p
Sunday, March 30th 2:30p-7:30p


TV LAND:
Second Round
Saturday, March 22nd 3:00p – 5:30p
Sunday, March 23rd 2:00p – 4:30p (I guess that's why the TV Land All in the Family Box Set was moved to 5PM)
Thursday 3/27 from 7pm - 9:30pm and
9:30pm – 12am

If it does not air on TV Land or TNN, it will be on CBS.


TNN has already announced they will FOR SURE air NCAA Highlight specials:
• Saturday, March 22nd 12:00 noon-1:00p - The Road To The Final Four Special
• Thursday 3/27 12:30a-1:00a Regional Semi-Finals – Midwest and West
• Friday, 3/28 12:30a-1:00a Regional Semi-Finals – South and East
• Saturday, 3/29 12:30a-1:00a Regional Finals – Midwest and West
• Sunday, 3/30 12:30a-1:00a Regional Finals – South and East
• Saturday, 4/5 12:30a-1:00a The NCAA Men’s Final Four – New Orleans, LA
• Monday, 4/7 12:30a-1:00a The NCAA Men’s Championship – New Orleans, LA

That's funny that you said that. The last time I checked, TNN was also a network for TV shows.

Solomon (I'm not going to bother capitalizing your name), they need a network, any network to air these games. When I saw the thread title I was thinking, they are desperate to get those games on television, even if it meant broadcasting them on networks that air regular TV shows. These are games making sports history. They should be witnessed my viewers regardless of what channel they are on.

Well, it didn't happen this weekend. CBS aired all the games, since there was nothing worth pre-empting.
Only reason TV Land or TNN was considered is because they are part of Viacom, like CBS.
