[West Coast Ace]

This is an interesting item to wake up to:

The line:

The USTA is "going to be involved with virtually everything that goes on at The Tennis Channel," network chairman and CEO Ken Solomon said in a telephone interview Sunday.

is a little scary. I can already hear the claims from foreign players of US stars
getting preferential treatment at TTC televised tournaments.

Given the fact that TTC now has rights to one of the GS (French) I think the long term effect will be more tennis on TV. No complaints from this corner. How long til TTC has continuous coverage of the USO?

well maybe they will show better stuff than they do now, like some more classice matches, not just the same sampras vs scud in davis cup 95 over and over lol, even thought i like samp, i want to see more.

The old me (the 3 week ago me) would be outraged! But now that I got TTC... bring it on!
