(CBS11) - This Thursday, March 17th, the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship gets started on CBS and CBS11. As has been the case for the past few years, CBS and Turner Sports are partners in the broadcast of these events, with selected games on CBS and the rest spread out on TBS, truTV, and TNT.

I wanted to make sure that you know about how some of your favorite shows are affected this week:

*On Thursday and Friday, 3/17 and 3/18, there will be no Let's Make A Deal anywhere in the U.S. as it is being pre-empted for basketball coverage. Some stations air the show in the morning, others in the afternoon, but in any event, it won't be seen this Thursday and Friday and will return Monday, 3/21.

*On these same days, there is no Young & The Restless, Bold & Beautiful, and The Talk. These will return on Monday, 3/21. Since they are not airing anywhere in the U.S. those days, you won't be missing anything!

*Dr. Phil can be seen the next day at 12nn on TXA21 this week. Hot Bench will air overnight at approximately 2:07am (subject to change).

*Wheel Of Fortune will move over to TXA21 this Thursday and Friday at 6:30pm, and again the next Thursday and Friday, 3/24 and 3/25.

Here are the games you will see on CBS11 this Thursday and Friday:
