If you’re looking around for Jim Nantz’s voice on any of the 2024 March Madness games, given that we’ve heard it on CBS’s coverage for decades, I have bad news for you.
You won’t find Nantz on the call. And why is that? You’ve come to the right place.
Nantz decided to step away from calling the tournament after he was on the mic one last time in Houston in 2023. He signed off with an emotional message after the national title game, with 32 years of announcing March Madness under his belt.
He’s still working for CBS, but now Ian Eagle is on the lead team.
"Thank you for being my friend"
