CBS and TBS have joined forces and will broadcast all round 1 and 2 games coast to coast. No regional broadcasts. Networks carrying games are CBS, TBS, TNT, and Tru tv

Yeah, they made this deal a while back. Just wish they had one more channel to use instead of truTV

I wonder if they will change how each game is broadcast. Will CBS still bounce around to show action from other games, or will each channel be sticking to their designated game?

They are changing to a more staggered start:

The contract signed in April with CBS and Turner Sports meant all games would be televised live nationally for the first time. Because Turner's three cable channels don't have the same commitments to the nightly news and other regular programming as CBS, the tournament games will be more spread out, starting this season.

That includes prime-time games on TBS, TNT and truTV during the first Sunday of the tournament, the networks announced Thursday.
