Tennis Channel Launches Streaming Channel on the Roku Platform

Tennis Channel is available to millions of Roku customers just in time for two of the biggest tournaments of the year: March’s “Fifth Slam” events in Southern California now underway and Miami. Roku customers have two options available to view live and on-demand action from Tennis Channel. Those who already subscribe to Tennis Channel through their satellite, telco or cable provider will have access to Tennis Channel Everywhere on their Roku players and Roku TV models. Roku customers also have the option of subscribing to Tennis Channel Plus, the network’s digital subscription service.
Tennis Channel Everywhere gives customers access to incredible live tennis action throughout the year, including more than 180 hours of overall network coverage during Southern California and Miami competitions.  Customers with Tennis Channel Plus are able to watch more than 600 additional live matches from more than 40 tournaments around the world – including the Australian Open and French Open – as well as thousands of hours of classic matches and on-demand programming. This includes archived semifinals and finals at major events like Wimbledon, as well as Grand Slam classics.

Roku customers can access Tennis Channel Everywhere and/or Tennis Channel Plus content with a single, easy-to-use streaming channel on the Roku platform, named Tennis Channel. Tennis Channel is the first, and most extensive, live and archived tennis streaming channel currently available on Roku players and Roku TV models.

“Launching a channel on the Roku platform marks a consistent effort by Tennis Channel to keep our digital offerings at the forefront of today’s media and entertainment innovations,” says Patrick Wilson, Senior VP, Tennis Channel. “With close to 90 percent of the live tennis on TV, we are constantly striving to give our audiences the convenience and freedom to access Tennis Channel when, where and how they want it on their smartphone, tablet and now on the Roku platform, which reaches millions of consumers. When combined with Tennis Channel Plus, we’re delivering unparalleled options for the in-home tennis viewing experience.”
