The NCAA tourney and the "one channel" concept

TTinCO · Mar 23, 2008

Doesn't this seem stupid? Multiple good games going on and coming down to the wire & all the network can do is hop back & forth as fast as they can.

Why not split it up so more fans have a chance to see the entire games? I'm sure it comes down to contract $ in one way or another, but the fans are really getting screwed by missing a lot of the games.

CBS has really shit on themselves today

royboy_3831 · Mar 23, 2008

yes, it really fuckin pisses me off, they should do a split screen with these games going on right now

TTinCO · Mar 23, 2008

This is so illogical, it's unreal.

Time to let all the networks bid on 1 game per time slot-at least after the 1st round.

TTinCO · Mar 23, 2008

This pisses me off to no end. These are some of the tightest, most meaningful games of the entire season, and they have to try to cover three of them at a time that are(were) coming down to the wire.

R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D!!!!!!!!!!

Unless people stop watching, which they wont CBS has no reason to change. I just wish they would put 2 games at a time on each of the CBS stations.

Any other Network and it would be fine:

Abc/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNNews

Fox/Fox Sports/Fox News

NBC/MSNBC/CNBC

CBS/.

I don't get the point of having 4 different channels for 4 different games and then having all 4 of them show the same game when it gets close.

They used to do this back in the early/ mid 90's.

I got the directv package, but what kills me is they have 4 games starting around 230-250 time. Why not spread the times out more on sunday and play games from noon till 9pm.

I understand what you're saying, but if you were NOT a basketball fan and could care less, would you really want it on every channel like it's a breaking news story?
How bout golf on every other channel, showing each matchup, so you don't miss anything.

Yes.

The reason the games are all bunched up on Sunday is 60 Minutes makes CBS more money.

gynecologist · Mar 23, 2008

For over 40 years, 60 minutes has been a goldmine for CBS..

Don't you guy's think the conference tourney's are more fun easier to handicap and the T.V. coverage is way better.

Espn's sisters of networks should have the big dance as it always pisses off me how CBS does things.

The conference tourney's start at 9 a.m. on espn and end at like midnight on foxsportsnet.

It's like a pig wallowing in mud.

CBS has another sports network and it actually has shown two tournament games ... St. Joe's-OU and Stanford-Cornell...
