Tennis Channel, a privately owned company headquartered in the US and part of Sinclair Broadcast Group, was founded in 2003. With approximately 280 employees, the company functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer and reported $265.0M in revenue as of 2025. Its main product is broadcast television and radio, specializing as a tennis-focused commercial channel. It also operates its subsidiary, Pickleball.
ATP World No. 3 Alexander Zverev publicly accused Tennis Channel on May 14, 2026, of favoritism and misrepresentation in its coverage. Zverev voiced his frustration on social media, alleging that the network consistently cuts his promotional appearances and correct answers from broadcast segments. Previously, on April 29, 2026, parent company Sinclair (SBGI) reported its first-quarter 2026 earnings, highlighting an "exceptional quarter" for its Tennis Channel segment, which achieved record viewership and direct-to-consumer subscribers. This contributed to Sinclair's overall strong performance, with total revenue reaching $807 million, up 4% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA increasing 13% to $126 million. Sinclair attributed its distribution revenue growth to lower subscriber churn and partner station buy-ins, while core advertising revenue saw a 4% increase driven by digital initiatives and the Digital Remedy acquisition. The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance and is preparing for a potential separation of its Ventures segment.
