I dont get it! This is not a perfect world folks. All this complaining for lack of coverage when Ive seen tons of tennis the last few weeks! Saw indy, stanford, toronto, carson, cincy and montreal! When the tc is not showing a match such as nadal live it's because there is a reason. Yesterday they showed live womens matches from montreal beacuse they must have a contract with the wta and had those matches scheduled for weeks. Im assuming they cant just change at the last minute because the order of play in cincy looks good. You're also dealing with rights. TC CAN NOT show live tennis when espn is on the air and vise versa.I agree it can be confusing but thats because its tennis and long matches throw scheduling off. Today i saw Blake, Nadal, Safina, and Jankovic on TC and Djoko, and Fed on Espn. How is that bad coverage? Thats 12 hours of tennis. In a perfect world the tc/espn could show all 30 matches going on around the world at once. It aint gonna happen.So, if TC show's all the men, some will complain about not seeing the women and if they show all the women, some will complain they dont see enough of the men. Maybe it's just me. But when i see people constantly complain about how bad the coverage is after watching 60 hours last week (most live) and approx 40 so far this week, i just dont understand. If you read the us open series tv schedules its really not that difficult to figure out. Just my 2 cents though. Id rather look at the positives.
Tenniann,
You just validated why the endless excuses/explanations make absolutely NO SENSE... the womens mathches your referring to where NOT LIVE they were taped as well.. You were misinformed. Thats whats confusing every one... AND since you speak so freely on the behalf of Tennis Channel..
PLEASE research and give a real explanation that makes more sense then your previous analogy which has the typical armature ring to it (subscribers don't have time for assumptions). NEWS FLASH we already know espn shares coverage... ARE you even reading why subscribers are upset. Its when NO other network in the world is covering it "where is TC's live coverage"? thats the question.. The rest is obvious.
FYI GENIUS, BAD COVERAGE is coverage that is not live. actually I'm not saying anymore cause you are obviously not a true fan follower. You don't even realize that your watching replayed old matches.. Sorry thid response is a waste.
EXAMPLE NONE of the womens matches will be live on Friday.
Malcom. I know you're the tv/tennis expert here but please, learn how to spell before posting. It's a joke.
You SHOULD talk "Vice Versa", is the correct spelling of the phrase you attempted BTW. Or perhaps, this is a case of Ignorance is Bliss. Please don't hold me responsible because you have absolutely no idea what the hell you saying on this message board..
Don't get bitter. The purpose of the message board is not to mis-inform others. So before you make any further assumptions... Simply do a little more research before you continue to spew nonsense from the side of your neck, all because you just decided yesterday to picked up a remote for the first time to watch tennis. Then proceeded to POST several Dumb ASS comments. Please move on and spare me the typo attack drama...
You're the true JOKE>>> Next topic please...
Ha! Do you really think anyone gives a crap what you say or think on here? Please! Ive been watching tennis for 30 years.Played my whole life. Sorry to mis-inform you since you are the tennis programming expert. You're probably some fat guy in a wife beater with no job and have nothing else to do but post on the TC message boards! Ha! Hilarious! Get a life. I hate to stoop to the level of those who post here. Just had to give my opinion.Never claimed to be an expert. Most of the people on here (like yourself) are totally clueless. Cant even complete a sentence. Im done interacting with such morons. Out.
Anne
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.
Based on your statements my only point is that your tennis IQ reads "below infinity", despite watching tennis for 30 years... Ma'am, just think before you print unfounded imbecile statements...
Suddenly the phrase "talking to a brick wall" doesnt seem so cliche anynmore. I really hope you are truly "out" this time.
