Cablevision has announced last week that Tennis Channel will be available on iO Sports Pak before the start of 2009 US Open Tennis championship. Cablevision has already allotted channels 399 and 795 for Standard and high-definition launch of Tennis channel.
Cablevision has urged the Tennis Channel to make its service available to Cablevision subscribers under its valid affiliation agreement, in time for the start of the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
John Trierweiler, Cablevision’s senior vice president of product management said, “The Tennis Channel has suggested that it is prepared to deny New York-area tennis fans its coverage of the U.S. Open, and instead attempt to extract millions of dollars by forcing all Cablevision customers to receive and pay for the Tennis Channel, whether they want it or not. We have a valid agreement. We expect the Tennis Channel to authorize Cablevision to receive its service. In addition, upon the launch of the Tennis Channel on Cablevision, we will welcome new iO Sports Pak customers by making the sports tier available free for the first month.”

But ? there are other ways. In some specific situations repetitions are not needed. What is needed is just a slight change of course and you will sail to your desired treasure island. These are the tennis tips.
The Varsity Channel is out of compliance…..it is not captioned for the nearly 37 million US citizens that are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. A significant population of these citizens are High School athletes, Deaf, who are unable to comprehend the narration and interviews without captions. Please fix. Unless Cablevision/ Rainbow Media/ Time Warner/ News 12, ( this is a huge media corporation) can show financial hardship, they are out of compliance with the Department of Justice, the FCC and the ADA.
CAPTION IT !!
