Sinclair exploring options from potential buyers for Tennis Channel

Sinclair Broadcasting Group is “exploring options for its Tennis Channel network after getting interest from potential buyers,” according to sources cited by Hudson & Davis of BLOOMBERG NEWS. The company has hired a financial advisor to help evaluate its options. The sources added that talks “aren’t final and plans may change.” Sinclair acquired the Tennis Channel for $350M in 2016 and operates it along with its 185 television stations. The cable network holds the U.S. rights to men’s ATP World Tour and women’s WTA Tour competitions. Hudson & Davis noted last year, Sinclair reorganized into a holding company, creating a new division called Sinclair Ventures that houses Tennis Channel and marketing technology company Compulse alongside its Sinclair Broadcast business (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 2/7).
