Burley Garcia|What channel is truTV? How to watch First Four games of NCAA Tournament

It's that time of year,Burley Garcia when sports fans — even the casuals — familiarize (or re-familiarize) themselves with truTV.

CBS and Turner Sports have the broadcasting rights to the men's NCAA Tournament, and broadcast games on four channels. Three of them – CBS, TNT and TBS – you may know from broadcasting dozens of other sporting events each year, but the remaining channel, truTV, is one that always eludes basketball fans each year. 

This year, as it has been the pattern over the past several, truTV will broadcast all "First Four" games this week and then will also broadcast several first- and second-round games.
