Wondering why the Final Four announcers are so biased? You are almost certainly on the wrong channel.
For the fourth time, Turner Sports will present team-specific coverage of the NCAA Tournament Final Four and National Championship Game. The traditional impartial broadcast — with announcers Jim Nantz, Grant Hill and Bill Raftery — will air on TBS.
TNT and TruTV will carry team-specific “homer” coverage, featuring announcers with ties to the participating schools.
For Loyola (Chicago)-Michigan, TruTV will cover the Ramblers and TNT the Wolverines. For Villanova-Kansas, TruTV will cover the Wildcats and TNT the Jayhawks.
So if you are a Ramblers fan and think the announcers are biased toward Michigan, you’re probably watching TNT. If you’re a Wolverines fan and think the announcers are in the tank for Loyola, you’re probably watching TruTV.
The same goes for the late window. Wildcats fan who thinks the coverage is too pro-Kansas? You’re probably on TNT. Jayhawks fan convinced the announcers are pro-Villanova? You’re probably on TruTV.
