Yidio March Madness Central: TV Schedules, Apps, Online Viewing Options

For the first time, every game will be televised across four networks: CBS, TNT, TBS, and TruTV. The tourney kicks off with First Round games on truTV at 6:30 ET on March 15th and ends April 4th with the championship game in Houston.
Here’s what we know so far about the March Madness schedule for TV, online and mobile devices. Check back for regular updates on viewing schedules and tournament information.
