A lot of pre-teen screaming, some musical acts, and a little bit of tennis, hit and giggle style. Not sure who is doing it this year, probably Roddick and Blake and a few others. I think there are all kinds of drills and games on the outside courts as well. It happens on Saturday, then they show it on Sunday.
Sorry, i think theres some mistake there. It will be on CBS as usual, from Saturday to Labor Day monday. =)

DirecTV package supplements coverage of USA for the first week of the U.S. Open
August 24, 2007
Major sporting events these days are getting more than just traditional television coverage, and the upcoming U.S. Open is only the latest example.
The USA Network beginning Monday will offer 107 hours of weekday coverage, with 95 being live, while CBS will have more than 37 hours of mostly weekend coverage.
But another 300 hours -- up to 100 matches -- will be available through a multichannel DirecTV package that is free to subscribers during the first five days of the Open.
On DirecTV channels 692-696 will be matches not on USA. There is also a "mix channel" (690) that will have five matches on the screen at once. Customers with interactive system equipment can click on any one of those matches and it goes to full screen.
DirecTV offered a similar package for the first time last year.
A new interactive feature this year provides a schedule of current and upcoming matches that users can click on to go to the correct channel.
The USA weekday coverage all next week will be on from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and again from 4-8 p.m., with the match of the day being shown at 11 p.m.
The DirecTV supplemental coverage more than likely will continue after USA signs off the air at 2 p.m. and will also include interviews and news conferences not available on USA.
After the first five days, there will be coverage only on CBS and USA. CBS, which Sunday at 9 a.m. will show highlights of Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, will have Open coverage throughout Labor Day weekend and on the final three days, Sept. 7-9. USA will also televise the Open Sept. 4-6.
And in case that isn't enough tennis for DirecTV customers, the satellite service launches the Tennis Channel on Monday. It can be found on channel 617.

Thanks for this, I was wondering because DirecTV was setting up for channels 690+ or above and I wondered if USA was going to have it at all.
But I remember in places in the South and east USA (I was in Charlotte, NC then) that showing of Jerry Lewis telethon preempted coverage of US Open on Labour Day. I wonder does this still take place for last time I was in US a few years ago it was so.

This all just stinks. I can't believe that right here, at the home of the U.S. Open, people in the U.S. can't even SUBSCRIBE to a livestream. I don't have Direct T.V. so their options aren't open to me. I can get a livestream practically anywhere in the world thru other options. But, for the U.S. Open, nothing?

You don't have to subscribe Direct Tv to have USA Network and CBS channel i guess?

This happens all over the US, wherever the CBS network is on a locally owned station with an affiliate contract instead of a CBS owned station. Locally owned stations have certain rights regarding 'local programming' and can pre-empt network programming according to their contract with the network (not sure of the specifics of this, I guess each station's contract is different). A friend of mine misses half of the Super Saturday coverage each year for a college football game. Recently, the local CBS affiliate was bought by the CBS network, so we get all network programming here now.
So yes, there are people who need to check their local listings and be prepared for the Jerry Lewis telethon to pre-empt their USO coverage.
Is there anyway we can get live streams from tvants or sopcast or any related programs? I am out of the US and have no television...
I would also like to know this

I saw that it said they play some taped coverage at 2:00 AM, and I believe it is eastern time. I live in california, so shouldn't this mean they should be playing it at 11:00 PM? Cause i've been checking USA for the past 2 days, and they haven't played a single match on tv at that time yet, and i really wanna watch some tennis

It's a repeat telecast - probably Match of the day kind of thing ( I'm not sure cause I haven't watched it.) The live night session broadcast time in California would start at 4pm PT and go till 8pm PT unless they have matches that go late and they stay on the air.

They did last year so I would assume so.
