It's that time of year again! Brackets are busted. Office pools are intense. And you're probably asking yourself the same question as always.
So, What Channel IS It On?!
Seriously, someone tell me. It feels like a national secret sometimes. Is it ESPN? Is it CBS? Maybe a weird streaming service I've never heard of?
The answer, my friend, is usually BOTH! CBS and TBS (along with TNT and truTV) share broadcasting duties.
That's right, it's a channel-surfing extravaganza! Get ready to become a pro at remote control gymnastics.
Navigating the Madness
You'd think with all this technology, finding a game would be easy. Nope. It's like they intentionally make it confusing.
One minute you're watching Duke on CBS. The next, it's a thrilling matchup between Some-Random-University and Another-Equally-Random-University on truTV.
And you're left wondering, "How did I get here?"
Pro tip: download a bracket app. Seriously. Most of them have live scores and tell you what channel the game is on.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Okay, here it comes. I'm just gonna say it.
I kind of miss when it was *just* CBS. Remember those days? Simpler times.
Don't get me wrong. More games are great. But the constant flipping is exhausting!
It's like a channel-changing marathon disguised as basketball.

Now, before you brand me a dinosaur, hear me out.
Think of the commercials! Each channel has its own unique brand of ads to endure.
You get car commercials on CBS. Then, some bizarre reality show promo on TNT. It's a sensory overload!
The Streaming Struggle
Oh, and don't even get me started on streaming. Is it Paramount+? Is it the March Madness Live app?
Is it going to buffer at the worst possible moment? The suspense is killing me!
Honestly, sometimes I just want to watch the game without needing a PhD in streaming services.
Embrace the Chaos
Despite my grumbling, I do love March Madness. The upsets, the buzzer-beaters, the sheer unpredictability.
It’s all part of the fun, right? Even the frantic channel surfing.
So, grab your bracket, your favorite snacks, and your trusty remote. And prepare for the madness!
Just remember, when you inevitably ask yourself "What channel is this on?!" You're not alone. We're all in this together.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a channel to find...
Happy watching!
