Coverage is record setting with CBS, ESPN2, and the Tennis Channel dedicating well over 140 hours of tennis action on television as well as on broadband. So you can follow the tournament not only your TV but your computer, iPad (or other tablet), and smart phone.
During the first week the Tennis Channel opens with Breakfast at the U.S. Open at 10am followed by the live action starting at 11am continuing to 7pm each night. ESPN2 will join the coverage at 1pm and they will be on till 11pm every night. Then the Tennis Channel has a late night recap show U.S. Open Tonight 11pm everynight.
So you have both networks giving tennis fans all the live action both on TV as well as on ESPN3, Tennischannel.com and USOPEN.org so viewers can follow the action on broadband.
CBS will join the party on the weekends and they will have live coverage that will include Labor Day coverage as well as all the semi final and finals action.
Here is a complete schedule of all the action:
