ESPN to add Hannah Storm, U.S. Open tennis
A couple of ESPN related developments from during my weekend in hiding.
Before heading to Ann Arbor for his fellowship, Deitsch apparently still has some reporting to do. Here he informs us Hannah Storm will front a new morning edition of SportsCenter.
This is expected to be announced at Tuesday morning's upfront presentation, taking away the surprise element. I guess I'll still go for the free donuts.
And TV Week reported back on Friday that ESPN and Tennis Channel will share the cable rights to the U.S. Open tennis tournament starting next year, another step toward simplifying the complicated business of trying to figure out who covers which grand slam event.
And of USA Network getting out of the sports business.
I got invited to the news conference at "21 Club" but I passed on it to stay home and write a Tuesday newspaper column for you nice people.
