There's another channel for your team! It says "team stream" right on the TV!
So, for the second straight year, the Tunrner channels did something really cool for the Final Four: one channel carried the national broadcast, with Jim Nantz, Bill Raftery and Grant Hill, and sister channels carried team-specific commentary: TNT features a Duke stream with Alaa Abdelnaby and truTV features a Michigan State stream with Mateen Cleaves.
And for the second straight year, fans didn't figure this out and got super mad. These fans were watching the Duke stream on TNT and were super mad that the announcers weren't hyping up Michigan State more:
What's up with these Duke homers on TNT?

Do the TNT announcers know there's another team besides Duke

TNT has a bromance with Duke. Not sure if the they know MSU is the other team. #GoGreen

I've never felt my team be more ignored by a network than TNT today

Am I watching Duke TV or TNT? Fair and balanced coverage #FinalFour

The games also had different feeds -- these fans were specifically mad that Tom Izzo wasn't getting facetime:
Why is Izzo getting zero face time? Hate this. Show some love for the Spartans TNT!!!!

Is Tom Izzo at the game? 96 shots of coach K - 0 shots of Izzo on TNT #whereisIzzo
— Joel Wyttenhove (@joelwytt) April 4, 2015
The haven't even had a camera shot of Tom Izzo all half or the Spartan bench, no respect. #tnt #MarchMadness #FinalFour

What's with TNT not showing a single shot of Coach Izzo from the sideline?? Where is Izzo??!!

We couldn't find any similar fans watching truTV hoping for Duke commentary -- harder to find truTV on your TV accidentally, I guess.
(Hat-tip to Stewart Mandel for finding about half of these.)
