The two local stations will take advantage of digital television capabilities to broadcast up to 16 tournament games per day.

ACC fans can also catch post-game press conferences for games involving ACC teams on the WRAL NewsChannel. This multichannel NCAA coverage begins at noon on March 18 and continues throughout the tournament.

WRAL-TV5 will broadcast the primary game of local interest, while WRAL Digital will use its multiple-channel capabilities to carry the remaining games taking place at any given time.
