How is CBS Doing?
Even though I am not getting the exact game I want each time I think the coverage has been respectable

and the fact that you can watch any game live online for free is great

ESPN will get the tourney in the future and will have all games across their networks

just my opinion of course, but online vs tv still is a big difference

As a former ESPN employee and current CBS employee, my opinion is that CBS will own this for a long time. Too much national penetration, plus they've done well online since they bought sportsline a few years ago. ESPN2 has only around 70% penetration, and ESPNU might as well forget it. Worse than Fox showing MLB playoffs on FX. CBS would be willing to lose money, a la NBC's olympics, before they lost this contract to ESPN/ABC.

yes, online > live over-the-air broadcast < HD broadcast

been this way since Janet Jackson....over-the-air is on a long delay that actually makes online updates or broadcasts as fast or faster.
