Please stop with the cooking segments, the endless tours of Paris, the endless takeaways from the matches. I pay for the tennis channel guess for what reason TENNIS! TENNIS TENNIS !
Not to watch 3 min of commerical then to watch a cooking segment then to get another 3 min of commercials. Watch an incomplete game then back to commercials again. You show so friggin little tennis it is embarassing to call yourself the tennis channel. SHOW THE MATCHES I DONT CARE WHO but stop with the endless mindless garbage. I dont have 6 hours every evening to see 1 hour of tennis.
Seriously change or I will just cancel the subscription, I dont care who or how the best macoroni in Paris is made, really!
mushin. You wouldnt see these things if you would watch the 7-8 hours of live coverage. You are watching the highlight show! That's why you're seeing more than just tennis.They condense the days best matches and include features and interviews to add a little more flavor. If you work like i do, just record the live coverage and wach it at night. That way you can see 6 straight hours of tennis! The coverage has been excellent. Especially in Hi Def. Looks great!
hey tenisann, I am trying to say I subscribed to TC for one reason it is to watch tennis matches I cannot see on other channels, this includes same day tape delays. I didnt join to learn how tto cook, to learn where the best grapes are, what type of grapes are used to make a wine or great places to visit, etc there are alot of other channels for this. I dont care if they run all this non-tennis stuff pre- or post- the Grand Slam events.
Just when the event starts why not show as much tennis as possible 24x7. Basically every American has to record the matches in order to see them so I ask again what is the purpose of all this other programming? You are just avoiding the issue and not saying it is a concern. Why not give the subscribers what they expect and signed up for, tennis?
I so agree! For the money that I pay for TC, I hardly see any tennis. Bring back NBC, ESPN2 and USA! The tennis coverage is lousy, there are too many segments on stuff that belongs on HGTV, and way too litte tennis, especially matches shown in their entirety. Imagine my horror watching Jankovic and Ivonovic last night - great match, and TC edited out about 7 games, and dragged that match to be well over 4 hours. Just show the match! don't break it up. TC should equal TENNIS channel, and it doesn't.
Seriously, that guy annoys the heck out of me. Just another ugly american being too loud in another country.
Yeah, hdtv, dvr, there are all kinds of options. Not all of us, however, can afford all that stuff, i.e., me. I pays my bucks to the tc for tennis and would like it if it had tennis. I live on the west coast so i have to stay up until 2 or get up at 4, which i understand, but they replay the same six matches and never replayed one french open match. oh, i know, they didn't pay for the rights, well, surely we pay enough that they could afford it.
