Computers, TV, March Madness (MMOD)
In the early 1990′s, pre-internet now folks, I remember how we used to keep tabs on Major League Baseball scores from the Dodgers front office. There was a designated Sports Ticker computer located near the office entrance and you could watch (slowly) the scores being updated.
Then for special events like the college basketball tournament, I remember hearing friends disappearing at sports bars to watch as many games as possible. While this still happens, the technology has changed yet again.
How times have changed. You can now click and watch live NCAA Tournament basketball games from the comfort of your computer. While I only tried this yesterday during lunch-time, the picture was clear, the movement easy and I was able to see the action in real time.
ESPN has links from its basketball central homepage. You can just click on the “watch live” buttons below the live game of interest. The site then takes you to a lead in commercial and you not only see the game action but related commercials as well.
The initial commercials you see when clicking are presented by one of the NCAA March Madness on Demand Sponsors which include Coke Zero, AT&T or Pontiac.
The site also offers real time stats, if you need or want to view them with links in the same area. Here is what they look like.
If you’d like the link to watch the games, here it is.
Happy viewing and enjoy TV on the internet
