Tennis – The Tennis Channel will build a permanent broadcast facility at the USTA National Campus in Orlando after reaching an agreement with the USTA on the same. This would help in the live coverage of USTA professional, collegiate, adult and junior-level events on an ongoing basis throughout the year, according to a press release by the USTA.

As part of the agreement, the Tennis Channel will air matches and programmers from the USTA Pro Circuit tournaments, college matchdays, the USTA League and wheelchair and national championships. Gordon Smith, USTA executive director and CEO, commented, “The USTA National Campus was built with the vision that it would be a stage for fans and players alike to engage with many levels of our sport in new and traditional ways.

This partnership with Tennis Channel gives us new, high-quality content with which to reach a wider audience and give fans unique ways to interact with the sport.” Tennis Channel President Ken Solomon commented, “We’re excited about this evolution in the Tennis Channel-USTA partnership, and the countless opportunities the national campus provides for growing our sport with audiences of all ages.

Having this full-time production presence at Lake Nona is a breakthrough moment for tennis in covering these types of competitions regularly and showcasing the wealth of great tennis that exists throughout the country for the first time ever.” The Tennis Channel will also have access to the USTA footage library, which includes archived content of the US Open Grand Slam tournament and US Open series events.
