For the many college basketball fans who haven’t watched it in over a year, here’s how to locate truTV on Time Warner just in time for the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Along with buzzer beaters, upsets and general insanity, one of the greatest annual traditions of the opening round of the NCAA Tournament is finding truTV for the first time all year.
With a loaded schedule on the first weekend of the Big Dance, Turner Broadcasting had to dig deep on its channel list to get every game televised. truTV started broadcasting first and second round games back in 2011, along with the First Four on the preceding Tuesday and Wednesday.
That was a welcome development, as first round games used to be limited to regional action, causing fans to miss too much of the action. The one catch is many fans aren’t going to know how to find truTV is off the top of their head, and nobody want to scroll through hundreds of channels while a tournament game is coming down to the wire.
Fortunately, Time Warner’s website is here to help. Fans can simply enter their ZIP code in the top right corner, type truTV in the search box, and be ready to go come March 14.
Starting with the First Four, truTV will air a total of 13 games in the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Following the first two rounds, live game coverage will move to CBS, TBS and TNT for the Sweet 16 and beyond.
