The Tennis Channel agreed a multi-year distribution agreement with US satellite provider DirecTV which will increase both its reach and lift its profile.
The deal will nearly double the number of households that get The Tennis Channel. It is presently in around 10 million US homes.
The channel is likely to launch on DirecTV in August, with a high definition service launching later in the year.
