March Madness is here! The second round of the NCAA Tournament begins Thursday and Friday on CBS 58 and Turner Broadcasting channels TNT, TBS and truTV.

Tournament coverage begins at 11:00 AM Thursday and Friday. There will be no CBS 58 News at Noon on Thursday or Friday. LETS MAKE A DEAL is preempted by CBS. JEOPARDY and WHEEL OF FORTUNE will air at 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM respectively both Thursday and Friday. Also, YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL will be preempted Thursday and Friday. CBS will pick up the shows’ storylines on Monday where they left off on Wednesday so viewers will not miss anything.

As in previous years, CBS and Turner Broadcasting (TNT, TBS and truTV) share the broadcast rights for the tournament and the decision of what games air on what network is solely that of the NCAA not CBS 58.

Wisconsin Badgers play Friday 5:50 PM on TNT against Pittsburgh and Green Bay Phoenix will play 6:20 PM on TBS against Texas A&M.
