Chapelboro.com’s coverage of UNC in the NCAA Tournament is proudly presented by Town Hall Grill in Southern Village, and High & Rubish Insurance Agency.
Carolina will continue its NCAA Tournament journey when it takes on No. 6 seed Ole Miss in the tournament’s Round of 64 Friday afternoon in Milwaukee. It’s the first meeting between the Tar Heels and Rebels in nearly a century.
If you aren’t taking the trip with the Tar Heels, here’s how you can follow along at home:
Broadcast Schedule
Those hoping to listen on the radio can do so at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM.
97.9 The Hill’s radio broadcast of Friday’s game will begin at 2:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell. At 3 p.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until tip-off. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately an hour after the conclusion of the game.
The NCAA Tournament’s exclusive national radio broadcast rights prevent 97.9 The Hill WCHL or any radio station from streaming the local radio calls of the NCAA Tournament basketball games on the internet. The only way to listen to 97.9 The Hill WCHL’s radio broadcast of the Tar Heel Sports Network’s call of UNC’s NCAA Tournament games is on an actual FM/AM radio. If you have a radio, you can catch our broadcast at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM, but you cannot access it through Chapelboro.com or any streaming service.

TV Schedule
Television coverage of Friday’s game begins with the tip-off at approximately 4:05 p.m., depending on when the session’s first game between No. 3 seed Iowa State and No. 14 seed Lipscomb ends. The game will be broadcast on TNT. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry TNT.
What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on the NCAA March Madness app, which is available for free in the App Store for Apple and Android.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry TNT.
YouTube TV prices at $83/month and carries TNT.
Hulu TV starts at $82/month and includes TNT, but does not carry NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $46/month. Both Sling Orange and Sling Blue carry TNT, although Sling Blue does not carry sports channels such as ESPN.
