			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4303" title="march-madness-cbs" src="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/files/2009/02/march-madness-cbs-300x213.png" alt="march-madness-cbs" width="250" height="177" />Here&#8217;s a pleasant, rare bit of media news sunshine: CBS says advertisers are still lining up to get into its March Madness webcast. <a href="http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/content_display/news/digital-downloads/broadband/e3ib7a02a35762c943472847a39b8274e72">The company expects to generate $30 million in Web ads</a> from the college tournament this year, up 30 percent from 2008.</p>
<p>CBS (CBS) says it has locked up AT&amp;T (T) Coke (KO) and General Motors&#8217; (GM) Pontiac as &#8220;presenting sponsors.&#8221; And Comcast (CMCSA) is paying to associate itself with the Webcast&#8217;s &#8220;boss button,&#8221; which you&#8217;re supposed to hit if one of your remaining superiors waddles by your cube while you&#8217;re watching the Duke game.</p>
<p>Chris Albrecht at <a href="http://newteevee.com/2009/03/05/cbs-march-madness-online-ad-revenue-nearing-30m/">NewTeeVee</a> thinks CBS will need to take some of that extra dough and plow it right back into bandwidth bills, since the company is using a high-end player from Microsoft (MSFT) to stream the games this year. I&#8217;m not so sure about that&#8211;last I looked, Microsoft was still trying to persuade companies to use its player instead of Adobe&#8217;s (ADBE) Flash, and I have to believe it&#8217;d be willing to make it worth CBS&#8217;s while to do so.</p>
