They show commercials whenever they feel like it, whether the match is going or not, and cut to their in-studio commentators repeatedly instead of showing live matches. <br /><br />How on earth is the sport supposed to pick up new fans when the coverage is so poor? Would they ever cover basketball or football the way they do tennis? I think not. <br /><br />It's pretty sad when those of us who want to watch the live match instead of the commentators have to find it streaming online. <br /><br />Completely ridiculous. I wish there were some way for the fans to make their frustrations known.Carolinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-17513747667344305802009-06-29T14:59:18.123-05:002009-06-29T14:59:18.123-05:00Peter, Tennis Channel shows highlights only, after...Peter, Tennis Channel shows highlights only, after the fact, so you're not missing a lot. And thank you!<br /><br />Anon, for NBC to create two contracts--one that prevents ESPN from showing matches live, and the other that prevents viewers from buying Wimbledon Live--is indeed rotten. So is showing players from only one nation. And--using your logic--a sports medium is supposed to show what its viewers want to see.<br /><br />(corrected for a typo and re-posted)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-74742076940176988202009-06-29T14:58:33.814-05:002009-06-29T14:58:33.814-05:00Diane, agreed.

Am I missing something or am I recording on my DVR every bit of coverage? This sucks, is tennis channel better if you have it? Long story short I have it at home but my roommate didn't get it this summer, and I feel it's too late with the second week starting that it's not worth it. Let me know if you have Tennis channel and are faring better. Sorry for the long comment. LOVE your blog! -Peter Childsthaiguy84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15763438847401249541noreply@blogger.com
