Midnight Madness on TV

This is a work in progress story that will be frequently updated as more information on Midnight Madness becomes available.

Here is what we know so far for Friday, October 13, 2006:

  • ESPNU has a three hour special Midnight Madness (10:30pm - 1:30am EST) that will feature George Mason, North Carolina and Indiana. Bob Wenzel will be the "analyst" at George Mason's midnight madness. Not sure if this will also be broadcast on the more generally available ESPN properties (eg ESPN2 or News)
  • CSTV is planning a special 90-minute preview edition of Crystal Ball at 11pm EST, with two more replays later that night. No word yet which colleges CSTV will visit.
  • Fox College Sports Atlantic (FCSA) is planning a 90-minute special on Friday October 13, 2006 with a replay in the early hours of the morning. This year they will cover the national champions, Florida. Tentative air times 11:30pm and 4:30am EST. (last year they covered Kentucky).
  • More details coming soon.


    Questions
  • What will FSN (Best Damn Sports show) do for Midnight Madness? (last year they visited Arizona)
  • Will any of the other ESPN stations offer additional Midnight Madness or simulcast of ESPNU?
  • Will Comcast Sports offer Midnight Madness coverage?

    Check back for more on this as more details become available!

    And on a related note, UW fans will get theirs
