Every year, as March Madness approaches, the question burbles up once again:

What is truTV and how do I find it so I can watch NCAA tournament games?

The WarnerMedia-owned basic cable channel – known as CourtTV from 1991-2011 – originally focused on true-crime series and legal dramas. In recent years, the focus has changed to comedy-based reality series, like “Impractical Jokers.”

A 2011 partnership with CBS Sports and Turner Sports saw the network add the NCAA Tournament to its ledger. It is a deal that will confound basketball-crazed fans in 91 million US households through at least 2024.

Here’s how to find truTV on your provider and get your March Madness fix:
