Fox Business Network has struck a new deal with the Tennis Channel to air business news briefs during the grand slam tennis tournaments in 2011.
The network had a similar deal in 2010.
Starting with this week’s Australian Open at Melbourne Park, Fox Business and the Tennis Channel will exchange a daily update, giving viewers on each network access to the action that takes place both on Wall Street and on the courts. The coverage will include live reports during the Australian Open, French Open at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows.
During each tournament, Fox Business’s “Imus in the Morning” will feature highlights from the previous day’s tournament matches. The Tennis Channel will lead into its nightly Grand Slam coverage with the “Fox Business Network Update,” a summary of market moves from the day anchored by Lori Rothman.
