tennis channel

Oh well - looks like the tennis channel has sold out to men's tennis like the
major networks (e.g., CBS, USA, NBC, and ESPN); but won't admit it. Just
called them to complain why they weren't showing more coverage of the women's
tournament this weekend (paz de france) when they showed around 2 or 3 rounds
last year (at least from the semi's), and they're only showing the finals this
weekend. And gave kind of a very weak explanation - said they didn't have
room since they're showing 2 davis cup ties this weekend (US vs. Austria, and
Russia v. Serbia) - sheesh - does anyone care that much (especially since it's
the 1st round - could understand if it's at least the semis). No argument if
they kept the same coverage, but you can't reduce the coverage. Probably has
something to do with no big stars being in it (e.g., no Williams' sisters, no
Henin, etc.); but at least want to see the kids (e.g., Cornet, Szvay, etc.),
but oh well. Told him point blank I guess that men's tennis makes more money,
but wouldn't admit it - kept saying they're showing a lot of women's matches
this year. Uh huh, but then you're only showing one match this weekend -
sheesh. Oh well, think tennis channel is not my favorite channel anymore.
But at least they're showing the Antwerp matches next weekend - and don't
think they showed that tournament last year.
