To celebrate the Madness that is March, we’re holding the first ever TVNewser Bracket Challenge! All news networks were asked to participate — some chose to “pass” (an assist?).

Here are the 2009 participants, and who they picked to win it all:

• ABC correspondent John Berman (Pittsburgh)
• CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer (Duke)
&bull Bloomberg anchor Peter Cook (Duke)
• MSNBC host Willie Geist (Memphis)
• CBS anchor Jeff Glor (North Carolina)
• BBC E.P. Rome Hartman (Duke)
• CNN correspondent Joe Johns (Michigan St.)
• ABC correspondent Rick Klein (Louisville)
• CNBC correspondent Darren Rovell (Louisville)

We’ll update the standings periodically, and report on any trash talk that takes place among the competitors. Good luck!
