TVE aces Madrid Open extension

Spanish public-service broadcaster TVE has extended a rights deal for the Madrid Open tennis tournament for four years, from 2016 to 2019.

TVE’s sports channel, Teledeporte, will show live coverage of at least four men’s matches and three women’s matches per year.

Free-to-air channel La 1 will also show daily highlights. If a Spanish player reaches the semi-finals or finals of the men’s tournament, the contests will be shown live on La 1, which will also show live coverage of any women’s final featuring a Spanish player.

TVE’s website will also show coverage of the Madrid Open.
