In a move that is sure to throw people for a loop, Turner and CBS Sports announced Wednesday in a press release that the 2018 NCAA Tournament Selection Show will not be aired on CBS this year. Instead, the Selection Show, which had been aired exclusively on CBS since 1982, will be televised on TBS.
The show will also be two hours in length, a half hour extension from the 90-minute broadcast from 2017.
This, as mentioned, ends the longstanding tradition of CBS having the Selection Show. In all honesty though, this move to TBS isn’t all that surprising.
