You should be able to find 2011 NCAA Tournament games on CBS just fine, and probably TNT and TBS too, but what about truTV? We've all had to make sacrifices for sport, and for this year's March Madness, learning the guide number of at least one unfamiliar channel will be yours. Though you could always just watch March Madness online.
After the jump, a list of where to find each channel on major cable and satellite providers, adapted from a truTV list by HD Sports Guide. And here's a complete week-one March Madness TV schedule.
truTV has done a decent enough job with the four play-in games. They weren't good games, mind you, but everything else about the former Court TV felt the same as watching on any other channel, from the good (Gus Johnson doing his best to sell a game with a nine-point margin) to the bad (awful Miller Lite women). And, like TBS and TNT, it's based in Atlanta, so I may be getting defensive for no good reason.
