Thanks for taking the time, stuck for now.

Feel free to report this post after the FO is over and I'll unstick it :)

Roland Garros - Eastern time listing


Friday, June 6, 2008 - French Open Men's Semifinals
Tennis Channel

4-11 p.m - French Open Men's Semifinal (live);
NBC
10 a.m.-1 p.m - French Open Men's Semifinal
This can't be right. 4-11PM for the men's semis live? 6 hr time difference would mean they were starting at 10PM in Paris. Does anyone know when the 1st semi does start? I assume the 2nd semi will be on NBC and slightly delayed.
 
Friday, June 6
1:30 am - 5:00 am French Open: Highlight show Tennis Channel (T)
5:00 am - 10:00 am French Open: Semifinals (Women) Tennis Channel (T)
10:00 am - 1:00 pm French Open: Semifinals (Men) NBC (L)
12:00 pm - 5:00 pm French Open: Semifinals ESPN2 (L)
4:00 pm - 11:00 pm French Open: Semifinals (Men) Tennis Channel (T)
11:00 pm - 6:00 am French Open: Semifinals (Men) Tennis Channel (T)

Maybe its a mistake. This is the schedule posted in tennis.com

Your new post is right - in the orig it said the Tennis Channel coverage of both semis was live. NBC obviously has the contract for the live coverage - the Tennis Channel show at 4PM will be the rebroadcast. And then a re-re-broadcast at 11PM.

PS - Go Roger!

I just checked on ESPN's site for their Friday listings as well as my cable guide and there is no live or tape delayed tennis coverage tomorrow on ESPN2.

The only live coverage available tomorrow is on NBC from 10am-1pm.

TTC will show a rerun of both (hopefully) men's semis 4pm-11pm.

Seconded. My DirecTV schedule shows no tennis on espn2 during men's semifinal day
 
Seems like you guys gonna miss the Nadal vs Djokovic match... thanks to NBC again. Unless the match between these two guys is longer than 2 hours, then maybe you people can watch the end part of it.
 
So is this a definite? Only one men's semi for non-tennis channel folks?

And if NBC's coverage starts at 10am eastern, that will roughly coincide with the Federer match, correct? So they would likely show that live rather than a taped Nadal match, right?

Yeah, they are showing Nadal/Djokovic*.

*With at least one major fast-forward. Two games in the second set are shown.
 
there should be a law regarding ration of commercial time to air time. it's like 30seconds of Paris then 3 minutes of commercials.
