NCAA March Madness LIVE on Facebook Via FreeCast.com App

ORLANDO, FL, March 13, 2012

Millions of Facebook users will be able to enjoy this year's NCAA March Madness LIVE coverage via FreeCast.com's Facebook app. The online coverage, provided by CBS Sports, TBS, TNT and TruTV, will cover all 67 games of NCAA March Madness, including games with such high profile teams as Kentucky, Syracuse, Michigan State and North Carolina, and based on the conference tournament upsets we saw last week, this year's tournament should be full of surprises.

The FreeCast app for Facebook will totally change the way sports fans experience March Madness. Not only will it provide a convenient means for watching all 67 games of the tournament, but it will also grant viewers the ability to watch while chatting and interacting with their friends and other Facebook users all on one screen.

The FreeCast Live Event Chat feature will allow college students to root for their school's team, celebrate with friends and trash-talk with rivals without missing a second of the action, troops overseas will be able to enjoy every game with their families from anywhere in the world, and office workers can boast to their colleagues about leading the office bracket without their boss overhearing. Essentially, the app turns March Madness into one big Facebook party.

"We had a lot of fun earlier this year bringing Facebook users live feeds of the Super Bowl and the GRAMMYs," says FreeCast CEO William Mobley, "and given the sheer magnitude of NCAA March Madness, we expect this event to be our biggest ever. Whether viewers will be using our app as their primary viewing platform or as a 'second screen' to accompany the television coverage, it's going to give them a totally unique way to experience one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year."
