Verizon and CBS Sports have partnered to bring video-on-demand (VOD) coverage of CBS Sports’ NCAA March Madness production of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship to FiOS TV customers, Verizon said last week.

Programming is available in both high definition and standard definition and includes a daily recap of every game with highlights, select post-game interviews and team news conferences. CBS Sports and CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) also are producing customized highlights of the 63 tournament games from the first round to the championship game, as well as historical NCAA March Madness vignettes.

The VOD content also features fully produced NCAA March Madness Memories, which include moments from 25 of the greatest games from previous NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships, pulled from archived NCAA game and related footage.
