ESPN has been getting a lot of criticism for its coverage of the Australian Open, all of it deserved. I was thinking of adding ESPN+, as that’s where many of the matches are being shown, but according to people on social media that channel is also doing a miserable job. Apparently, the sports network got exclusive rights to cover live matches, but if they’re not going to show them on ESPN or ESPN2, where the vast majority of viewers can see them, then they should let the Tennis Channel take over. As is, the Tennis Channel is showing only replays. So waking up in the morning, instead of seeing the end of a late-night match on ESPN2, I get Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin.
