During the March Madness broadcast of the Alabama vs. Grand Canyon game on TBS, viewers were significantly disturbed by a fan's persistent, high-pitched screaming. The noise, which emanated every time Grand Canyon had possession of the ball, led to widespread complaints across social media platforms. Multiple users expressed their frustration, with some calling for the fan, dubbed the 'Grand Canyon screecher,' to be removed from the arena for the sanity of everyone watching. The issue was so prevalent that calls were made for the TBS production team to isolate and turn off the microphone picking up the shrieking. This incident overshadowed the game's commentary, including Andrew Catalon's "BIIIG SHOT!" call, and became a focal point of viewer dissatisfaction.

That screaming Grand Canyon fan that can be heard on TBS... 🏀🙉 #MarchMadness https://t.co/tl0bBTkwAD
Is there a weird, high pitched scream on the broadcast of this Alabama-Grand Canyon game, or am I having a stroke?
OK, TBS production team. All of America is begging you to isolate that shrieking Grand Canyon antelope fan and TURN OFF THE MIC FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY
The woman screaming every time Grand Canyon touches the ball is the most annoying thing I’ve heard during a broadcast. This eclipses the vuvuzela world cup.
Someone please tell whoever is running the crowd mic on TBS to stop pointing it at the screeching banshee who is clearly rooting for GCU. Gonna have to mute it here pretty soon. #MarchMadness
whoever is shrieking in this Bama - GCU game is making my ears bleed
We gotta get this GCU screecher right next to the CBS microphone forcibly removed from this arena for the sanity of everyone watching.
This screaming Grand Canyon fan needs to be removed from the arena
Anyone else watching Grand Canyon vs Bama and hearing this annoying scream?
