For the first time ever, every single game of the NCAA Tournament will be broadcast live and in its entirety. Gone are the days of being at the mercy of "live loon-ins" and "studio updates." A big reason for this is truTV, which, along with CBS, TNT and TBS, will be broadcasting the 2011 March Madness, including the four First Round games, beginning Tuesday night. So, now to the important stuff ... what channel is truTV? Great question!
Since most of us probably had idea it used to be Court TV, HD Sports Guide has compiled a handy list of where you can find truTV.

Dish Network | National | 204 |
