BBC SECURES STELLA TV EXTENSION

The Stella Artois tennis championships in London will continue to be screened on the BBC until 2009, after a new deal was agreed.

The annual grass court tournament at the Queen’s Club extended its deal for free-to-air coverage for a further two years.

The BBC now holds live and delayed rights to the event across all platforms.
Said BBC head of general sport Barbara Slater: “We are pleased that our association with the event will continue.”
