This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV, which includes access to TBS and TNT (along with a bunch of other awesome networks like ESPN, HGTV and more). Sling TV is also currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service, so what better time to give it a whirl than the next four days when nearly 40 different games will be played? If you’re a college hoops superfan, we have even better news for you! Sling TV’s “Best of Live TV” subscribers will have access to a free preview of truTV throughout the tournament (March 13-April 12), so they don’t need to upgrade to Lifestyle Extra (where truTV normally lives at an extra charge of $5/mo.) to see all the truTV coverage. Now that’s good customer service!
