“One of the unique qualities of professional tennis is the number of simultaneous matches at any given tournament,” said Victoria Quoss, executive vice president, programming and network strategy, Tennis Channel.
“This is especially true at Grand Slam events, which feature both men’s and women’s competitions. Because of this tennis, more so than most other televised sports and entertainment programming, is a driver of multi-signal interactive applications, keeping audiences engaged and preventing them from switching the channel. DishHOME’s interactive mosaic channel lets Tennis Channel viewers select the matches they want to watch during our coverage and, in doing so, helps us to further evolve the way U.S. audiences experience Grand Slam tennis on TV.”
“During a prestigious event like the French Open, fans can feel out of the loop when watching only one game at a time,” said Michael Kelly, executive vice president of Commercial & Business Services for DISH Network. “Together with Tennis Channel, DishHOME offers fans a way to instantaneously keep tabs on different matches, watch their favorite pros, and to stay closer to the tournament action.”
