After grabbing coverage of Wimbledon through 2013, ESPN is in talks with the USTA to televise the final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open. No agreement has been reached yet.
Cable channel USA Networks, which has televised the major for years, will be ending their coverage after this year.
Does that mean we won't have any more of roving reporter Michael Barkan's awkward and, frankly, embarrassing celebrity interviews? Awwww....

Few commentators make situations more uncomfortable than Michael Barkan. Wow how novel, a sports channel covering a real sport! I hope that they do get the coverage and give it decent coverage at that.
ReplyDeleteyeah he usually leaves me with an icky feeling during and after his celeb interviews, especially when they look at him like they want to take him out to the shed.
ReplyDeletebarkan be gone!
