TVNewser Bracket Challenge ’09: The Competitors

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!

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
