Welcome to Eye on Sky and Air Sports. I'm sure most people have no idea who I am or why I am doing this. Simply put, last year I noticed most of the announcing assignments for TV coverage were listed online, but most of the radio assignments weren't. I wanted to try and do something to resolve that. I realize I'm no where close to including all the national radio affiliates yet, but I am slowly getting there. As a result, Eye on Skky and Air Sports was born? How'd I come up with the name? Simple put- I was keeping an EYE ON the sports SKY AND focusing on the radio AIRwaves for SPORTS. This year I decided to start including the TV assignments as well since I was providing the college football broadcast list to Awful Announcing. I later started supplying the college basketball weekend announcers to Fangs Bites, until I progressed to where it is at today.
I hope to be able to provide you one central location to turn to and find out which network, what time, and which announcers you can expect for this years NCAA Tournament. Since I am trying to include all the content one can want when it comes to finding out your announcers, I was invited to b part of the March Madness Atomic Reach campaign for Cox TV.
The site will be updated throughout the week as the announcing assignment locations are finalized and as game times are set. As the tournament begins on Tuesday, there will be multiple ways to view the tournament. Obviously if you're at home, you can watch the tournament on CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV. However if you're like me, and I assume most of you are, then listening or watching online or though a mobile device will likely be your daytime source of entertainment.
Dial Global is once again the radio home of the NCAA Tournament. Dial Global Broadcasts can be listened to online through the Dial Global Sports website or at March Madness Live. Dial Global broadcasts can also be listened to the radio through local Dial Global affiliates or SiriusXM. Two mobile device platforms- Slacker and TuneIn Radio will also allow you to listen to the Dial Global broadcasts.
If you have access to a computer or the correct digital provider, you can watch all the coverage online through March Madness Live.
Not only will I provide information on the NCAA Tournament, but you can also catch information on the NIT, CBI, CiT, and the Women's NCAA Tournament here at Eye on Sky and Air Sports. Heck, I might even add in the Women's NIT and Women's Basketball Invitational if I have enough time to do do. For now sit back, relax, and see which teams are playing at what site on what day at Eye on Sky and Air Sports, a March Madness Atomic Reach website.
