Daylight Saving Time Alert!: The time change will happen earlier this year, namely at 1:59:59am on March 11 the clocks will spring forward to 3am. Because of this some of the TV listings you may find online are one hour behind for listings on March 11 and later. My TV listings are adjusted for DST. So please keep this in mind if you are looking at TV listings before March 11...

ESPN News Alert!: All ESPN family of networks games (80+ games) of Championship week, March 1 through March 11 will be broadcast for free online at espn360.com. Thanks to ESPN for making all these exciting games available to fans on the net for free! Thank you ESPN :-)
