TNT Sports to host French Open after agreeing to a 10-year, $650 million deal

Warner Bros. Discovery has a 10-year, $650 million deal in place to be the new home of the French Open in the United States beginning in 2025, executives briefed on the agreement told The Athletic.

The move comes as WBD, which is the home of TNT Sports, is in the midst of negotiations with the NBA as it tries to hang on to some rights to games. WBD Sports executives have said they would be pursuing outside rights regardless of whether they retain the NBA or not.

I doubt people will watch the show without the games. Especially that late at night.

Maybe they can do a late night talk show format and invite players and celebrities on. That might work.

Maybe there is an opportunity there. I think Kenny gonna be at the 30 yr mark soon, Ernie has been over 30, I doubt they want to go much further.

Re NBA? I touched on it a little but TNT is in play to keep some NBA games including the playoffs

is the french open even an attractive property? Especially if it's not something that you are streaming during the day so that ppl can watch at work

Their trying but it's tough because Silver wants to move on. They may take them to court I think that's the play.
