TTC is planning to air 30 live or first-run hours, while ESPN2 is scheduled to broadcast nearly 100 hours of primetime and overnight coverage. Yay! Live tennis!
Play will begin on ESPN2 on Sunday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. ET and will continue through the women’s and men’s finals live Saturday, Jan. 31, and Sunday, Feb. 1, respectively.
Don't forget to set your Tivos to Australian Open Today on TTC also. It'll be the morning show that recaps what the hell went on while you were sleeping. Assuming you actually hate tennis and fell asleep.
