Time for March Madness...on Your iPhone

CBS Sports has announced that they will stream the NCAA tournament games live on the iPhone or iPod Touch via a new app. The app will cost $4.99 and will require you to be on a wi-fi connection.

I know, who the hell is going to pay for it? But that's not the point. The fact that it can and will be done is very cool. I don't expect anyone to pay 5 bucks to watch games on their iPhone or iPod Touch. Especially when you can go online and watch all of the games for free. And, chances are, wherever you have wi-fi, you'll have a TV or computer to watch the games anyway. Either way I'm very excited for 2 things. First that live streaming is taking place on the iPhone and second, for March Madness!

The app itself, will have other features besides just streaming the games. You'll be able to find new stats and breaking news as they come in. If you don't have wifi access, you can still listen to the game over your EDGE or 3G service.

When the tournament is over on April 6th, the app will expire. So, who's willing to pay 5 bucks to watch NCAA action on the iPhone? [Apple Insider]

Kiss K-ROCK Goodbye

CBS Radio is eliminating New York's rock station, 92.3 K-ROCK. As of 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 11, the station will be 92.3 NOW and will feature contemporary top hits. NOW's website is currently featuring a countdown clock.

“For the first time in nearly 30 years, New York now has a choice for hit music,” said Dom Theodore, Vice President of Contemporary Hit Radio Programming, CBS RADIO. “With 92.3 NOW FM we’re breaking the mold of the traditional radio station and creating a pure multi-media companion for today’s music fans.” Theodore, who has launched several Top 40 stations across the country, will direct the programming for 92.3 NOW FM.

New York rock fans will shed a tear for sure as their station will be turned into a Z100 competitor. K-Rock has been a rock station since 1976. [CBS RADIO]

TV.com App Lets You Watch Full Star Trek Episodes, Clips of Other Shows

The new Tv.com app for the iPhone will allow users to watch full episodes of certain shows, including Star Trek and CSI: Miami, and clips of other CBS shows free through either 3G or Wifi. It's cool, but I wish they had more full episodes of more recent shows.

The good thing about this is that now, the Hulu app rumors look even more promising!
