BRIEF: Some of Turner Sports' Final Four telecasts will offer a home-team slant

April 02--For this year's Final Four, Turner Sports will again air Saturday's games on cable -- and will air Monday's championship game on cable for the first time. But not all channels will be equal.

For the third straight year, Turner will offer coverage that is more "homer-bent" on TNT and truTV, in addition to the traditional game broadcast on TBS. Turner calls the ancillary broadcasts "Team Stream" coverage, which means team-specific commentators, graphics and replays.

It will feature, for example, former Oklahoma basketball player Eduardo Najera as an analyst for the Oklahoma fans and former Syracuse football player Donovan McNabb as a sideline reporter on Syracuse's "Team Stream."

The Oklahoma and North Carolina broadcasts will air on TNT, and the Villanova and Syracuse broadcasts will air on truTV.
