Westwood One will once again be home to every game of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. Coverage will tip off with First Four action on Tuesday, March 15 at 6:30pm ET. Fans will be able to hear play-by-play action from all 67 men's basketball games including 32 first-round and second-round games, plus regional semifinals and finals. In addition, Westwood One will also broadcast live coverage of NCAA Men's Final Four on Saturday, April 2 and the National Championship Game on Monday, April 4.
The trio of Kevin Kugler, PJ Carlesimo, and Clark Kellogg will announce all the action for the Final Four and the National Championship in English. Kellogg will serve as a studio analyst for both CBS Sports and Turner Sports' television coverage in addition to Westwood One's audio coverage. Immediately following the pregame show broadcast on the TV set, Kellogg will make his way courtside to the Westwood One radio broadcast position to join Kugler and Carlesimo to call the game.
For the first time, Andy Katz will serve as courtside reporter; Doug Gottlieb and three-time NCAA Player of the Year and Hall of Famer Bill Walton will provide pregame, halftime, and postgame analysis from the Final Four and National Championship in New Orleans.
Westwood One will present the Spanish-language broadcast for the fifth time. The game will be called by Rafael Hernandez Brito and former All-American Greivis Vasquez, and hosted by Carlos Morales.
Westwood One's NCAA men's tournament coverage can be heard on terrestrial radio stations nationwide and via SiriusXM. All 67 Division I men's games will also be streamed online for free at NCAA.com/MarchMadness and on westwoodonesports.com. Additionally, the broadcasts will be available for free via the NCAA March Madness Live app or The Varsity Network app. Fans can also access live audio via Alexa-enabled devices by asking to "Play NCAA March Madness on Westwood One."

Additionally, for the first time, both the Women's Frozen Four and the Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship will be broadcast nationally on radio.
