Where to find truTV is a question a lot of college basketball fans are asking this week, since the truTV cable network for the first time (along with sister stations TNT and TBS) will be telecasting entire games of the NCAA basketall tournament.
The truTV network, once known as Court TV, will telecast all four of the “First Four” games Tuesday and Wednesday (including Clemson’s and UNC-Asheville's first-round games tonight) and then have games throughout the weekend (including Duke’s 2:40 p.m. first-round game Friday vs. Hampton in Charlotte -- that game will NOT be on CBS).
This is all part of the NCAA’s new 14-year TV deal, which was hammered out in Charlotte last April and which I’m writing about in depth for Wednesday’s newspaper.
But in the meantime, where’s truTV? Here’s a partial list, and if you aren’t on one of these then look on your TV for the channel guide or go to ncaa.com for more details.
In Charlotte on Time Warner Cable, truTV can be found on Channel 75; the HDTV version is 1313. For Comporium, it is channel 233. For Dish Network it is channel 204 and for DirecTV it is channel 246. On AT&T U-verse, it is channel 165. For MI-Connection, it is channel 31.
In general, truTV is usually found very close to TNT and TBS because all three are owned by Turner Networks. It is on most basic cable packages.

CBS' Lesley Visser: We'll direct viewers to best NCAA games
There's been a lot of jokes about whether TV viewers will be able to find truTV tonight as the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship gets underway. The brass at CBS Sports and Turner Sports are well aware of the possibility for viewer confusion once the tournament moves into high gearThursday, says reporter Lesley Visser . They've spent the last few months drilling the on-air troops on how to direct viewers around to games on four different channels -- CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV -- rather than just CBS. "It it will be Jim Nantz , saying, 'OK, Ohio State is a blowout. But TNT rightnow has a really close game. We've spent quite a bit of time on this," she says. Nantz thinks viewers will enjoy being able to flip around to watch different games from start to finish ifthey choose -- rather than being switched there by CBS as they have for decades. "They'll have control. Instead of waiting for somebody else to switch, they'll be able to say, 'I'll switch myself,'" says Nantz. "This is how the tournament has evolved. In the end, the viewer is being served." Nantz, Clark Kellogg , Steve Kerr and Tracy Wolfson will call tonight's games on truTV. Gus Johnson , Len Elmore and Marty Snider will call Wednesday's games on truTV.
