Westwood One, the official network audio broadcast partner of the NCAA, has announced its broadcast plans for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. Starting with the First Four on Tuesday, March 18, Westwood One's coverage will include every game up to the National Championship on April 7. Live coverage will be available on terrestrial radio stations, SiriusXM, and for the first time, through the Westwood One Sports app available on iTunes and Google Play stores.

Additionally, all 67 games of the tournament will be streamed for free on NCAA.com/MarchMadness, westwoodonesports.com, and via the NCAA March Madness Live and The Varsity Network apps. The broadcasts will also be accessible on Alexa-enabled devices by asking to "Open Westwood One Sports," and TuneIn premium subscribers will have live access as well.

The English broadcast team for the Final Four and the National Championship includes the trio of Kevin Kugler, Robbie Hummel, and P.J. Carlesimo, with Andy Katz returning as courtside reporter. Jason Horowitz will anchor the pregame, halftime, and postgame shows from San Antonio. The commentary team also boasts a line-up of basketball luminaries such as Tom Crean, Casey Jacobsen, LaPhonso Ellis, Austin Croshere, and more, providing in-depth analysis throughout the tournament.

For Spanish-speaking fans, Westwood One continues its tradition of Spanish-language broadcasts of the Final Four and National Championship. This coverage will be led by Rafael Hernandez Brito, with analysis by former All-American Greivis Vasquez and hosting by former Puerto Rican National Team coach Carlos Morales.

In addition to game coverage, Westwood One will produce a series of hour-long college basketball programs each day of the tournament, including "The NCAA Tournament Today," "The Final Four Show," and "Championship Monday," enhancing the listener experience with previews, insights, and expert analysis.
