Selection Sunday and Final Four on TBS: huh?
The Final Four and Selection Sunday today are on TBS, not CBS as in the past. Are CBS executives just stupid? First of all, there is around 10% of this country that does not have cable at all, with only local channels and no streaming, and there is another 10% or so that are streaming only, and many streaming packages do not carry TBS. These stats guarantee that programs on Cable have lower ratings than programs on network TV. Why would CBS decide to have lower ratings for the Final Four? It makes no sense whatsoever that I can think of.
It makes perfect sense. Now you need cable or satellite subscriptions.
Yup. A big Fuck you to all cord cutters. Glad I’m not one of them. (Ducks)
Airing live on the NCAA March Madness app.
(typing this as I'm watching it on my projector mirrored to my iphone screen) hmm?
Well I’m watching it on my old fashioned HDTV.

I figured the NCAA didn't want all the peoples watching us win the title!!
There are no stats that show this, otherwose all the other stuff that goes on cable would have done that. Nothing can change the 10-12% that don't have cable because many of them can't, due to location and availability, and many others do so by choice. They aren't changing becuase the final four isn't on.
Just figured all this out eh?
It's now alternating every year, because Time Warner spent lots and lots of money.
They are using something popular to drive people seeing TBS as something they should want to have in their cable packages
Anyone catching the end of Get Hard on TBS? - Classic
It’s starts with a simple reverse inhale combined with a simultaneous relaxation of the...
Wouldn’t you be able to stream the game through NCAA.com regardless?
CBS and TBS touch each other.
Who fucking cares? This thread is fucking bad and you should feel fucking bad. I can’t believe I fucking clicked on this fucking thread.

Oh my, such terrible language! What's next, cheerleaders in thongs?
Someone leak the bracket. Two hours of this will destroy me
????
He's really reading all of the auto-qualifiers?
Yep. It's very important to reveal information the public already knows.
This is dumb. College basketball fans who watch this already know who the automatic qualifiers are.
Big time TBS production with the timing of the audio and video off by a couple of seconds.
Seriously what a mess. Never seen this kind of delay go on for this long on tv before
Leak the bracket!!! Am I going to LCA or not?
They could not possibly look more bored.
Yeah this is bad.
Is this reminding anyone else of MXC? Audio is so far off it looks poorly dubbed. Gumble is giving random commentary. And the other guy is gesturing vaguely.
Why are they telling me the automatic qualifiers. Stupid.
I feel like I'm watching a Japanese movie
looook! it's Godzillaaaaaah!
Team Mothra
Are they filming this on a boat, in the ocean, with 5 footers?
Surprised to see ASU. Oklahoma should love that
Got in over several more deserving teams. What a joke.
TBS. Seriously, you're a disaster
CBS/TBS has ruined one of the best sports days of the year. If it's not broke, assholes...

Lol. This is horrendous. Who thought this was a good idea
The production quality is almost as shitty as the method they're using to reveal the teams. What a fail.
So THIS is their new strategy? Take 20 minutes to reveal the 68 teams individually.
But still draw it out two hours before we know all four brackets. Those sly dogs.
The production quality is almost as shitty as the method they're using to reveal the teams. What a fail.
To hell with Notre Dame.
Is one sleepy son of a bitch
Fake news!
Lolll I know what you did there...
suspense!
Guess the last 12 games really is out. OU and ASU both in. And not ND. Ha.
