Hooray! I’m not screwed over by the Tennis Channel
ESPN and The Tennis Channel have entered into a multi-year arrangement to share rights to the Australian Open and French Open through 2011.
The networks announced they will share coverage of the Australian Open beginning in 2008, with The Tennis Channel adding 100 hours of live and prerecorded programming to ESPN’s coverage. The Australian Open has been televised exclusively on ESPN and ESPN2 since 1984. ESPN
Good news for those who don’t get the Tennis Channel…I hope the coverage isn’t too crappy, as ESPN might be more inclined to show Americans or major matches only.
