NCAA and CBS

The NCAA tournament is exclusive to CBS. Some games I believe can be watched through the internets, but if you’re a typical viewer you’re stuck with what CBS gives you.

What I don’t understand is why the people at Viacom/CBS aren’t clever enough to make money by showing all the games in full on their several channels. Viacom not only owns CBS, they also own UPN. UPN has coverage in 86% of the U.S. Why not show a second game on UPN?

Viacom also owns MTV, Nickelodeon, Black Entertainment Television, VH1, Spike TV, CMT, Showtime, The Movie Channel, Flix and some others. Ought to be room enough for every game.

Hey Viacom, by next year figure out how to make your profit and please the fans. We all have remotes — let us switch between games.

And no annoucers over 70.

  1. Every year CBS disappoints in their coverage of the tournament. Their inability to move quickly from a “regional” game that is a 15 point difference to another game that is close is pathetic. And they always need to jump to their New York Center to set it up.

    They stink.

  2. Furthermore, many of us are fans of one or more teams and love seeing them win by 15 points ? right down to the final buzzer and the handshakes.

  3. I especially love it when they pull away from a close game to have the talking heads in New York tell what has been happening in the game we were just watching.
