All college sports come to a dramatic halt

Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune

March Madness? Won’t happen.

The Frozen Four? Not this year.

The NCAA Wrestling Championships? Done, too.

The NCAA on Thursday made a colossal, far-reaching decision, announcing that it has canceled its men’s and women’s basketball championships, along with all remaining winter and spring sports championships, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FOX News is distributed via cable and satellite. FOX5DC is part of the FOX's over-the-air subsidiary.

WTTG

Website: www.fox5dc.com

WTTG, virtual channel 5 (UHF digital channel 36), is a Fox owned-and-operated television station licensed to the American capital city of Washington, District of Columbia. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of Fox Corporation, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station WDCA (channel 20). The two stations share studios and transmitter facilities on Wisconsin Avenue in the Friendship Heights neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of Washington.

I watch channel 5 or channel 20 just about every night. Sue Palka is my go-to TV weather person.
