CSTV: College Sports Television has inked a multi-year agreement with CBS SportsLine.com and the NCAA for the exclusive video streaming rights for the Division 1 men's basketball championship games beginning with the upcoming 2005 tournament, otherwise known as "March Madness."

Fans will be able to watch the live CBS Sports NCAA Tournament broadcasts from outside their area on their computers, following the action as it is broadcast by CBS.

"NCAA March Madness on Demand," will offer live and on-demand streaming video for the first 56 NCAA Tournament games on an out-of-market basis. The Webcasts will also feature streaming video of interviews and pre-and post-game press conferences.

A Webcast subscription package costs $19.95, although CSTV is offering a half-price discount for those early-bird users who sign up before Feb. 8. --David Kaplan
