US broadcasters NBC and ESPN are reported to be close to finalising multi-year renewal deals with the All England Lawn Tennis Club for the TV rights for Wimbledon.
According to US press reports, the NBC deal, which takes effect next summer, is estimated to be worth between $12 million and $13 million a year until 2011.
ESPN is also reported to be close to a deal that would give the media group TV rights and a more expansive set of digital rights that will increase the reach and breadth of its coverage.
