Here ’s the deal : The NCAA Men ’s Basketball Tournament ( aka March Madness ) is useable on a turn of channel . This twelvemonth that let in truTV , TNT , TBS , and CBS . That ’s good and bad . It ’s a assorted bag , really .
First , some context . Sling TV is split into two main tracks , each with its own duct . ( But with some lap . ) . Sling Orange and Sling Blue . you could get one , or you could get both for not much more money . Each caterpillar tread has its own slate of optional hyperkinetic syndrome - ons telephone Sling Extras .
Let ’s start with the light bits . TBS and TNT are available on Sling Orange and Sling Blue . That ’s good . You ’ll get a lot of basketball that way .
TruTV is a small more difficult . It ’s normally available only as part of Sling Blue . But as a special treat for March Madness , it ’s available on Sling Orange through March 24 . So you ’ll get a few day of truTV with just a single track , but that ’s it .
CBS is the bragging takings . While Sling does have some local channels usable to stream in some market place , it ’s definitely more limited than its contender .
There ’s one room around that , though , and that ’s with an over - the - air feeler , which you ’ll bump that Sling TV crowd fair intemperately . And Sling has its own branded over - the - air tuner called AirTV . You ’ll snag one of those , hook up your feeler , and scan for channels . Once that ’s done , you ’ll be able to see whatever local programme are in your country right inside the same Sling TV usher as everything you ’re streaming . So it ’s a little more setup ( and an extra one - clock time disbursement ) , but certainly not impracticable . And if you ’re dead - set on watching March Madness on Sling TV , it ’s what you ’ll need to do .
Once that ’s done , you ’ll be able to watch over every min of every game of March Madness , from the initial gambling - in games to the Final Four and the National Championship game on Monday , April 8 . Those final five secret plan are all available on TBS .
Game on .
