Broadcast strategy
Fees paid by international broadcasters are vital since they help create the annual surplus that is then returned into British tennis at all levels by the Lawn Tennis Association.

It is important to the All England Club to deliver Wimbledon to as large an audience as possible, which is why, in most parts of the world, the Club aims to place at least part of The Championships on national, free-to-air television.

Broadcasters are approached on a country-by-country basis with agreements designed to satisfy both cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcasters.

Host broadcaster - Wimbledon Broadcast Services (WBS)
WBS, took over the role of host broadcaster of The Championships in 2018. WBS provides multi-camera coverage of all 18 Championships courts in HDR, with Centre Court and No.1 Court also delivered in UHD.

There are over 165 host cameras and 200 microphones captuing more than 1,500 hours of match coverage over the Fortnight.

Rights holders have global access to 22 simultaneous feeds via a ground-breaking IP infrastrcuture & fully reduntant satellite service.

Background

Wimbledon was televised for the first time in 1937, when matches were transmitted by the BBC from Centre Court for up to half an hour each day of The Championships.

In 1967, Wimbledon provided the first ever colour broadcast in Britain.

On average there are over 80 holders on-site across TV, news, radio & podcasts; there are positions for 120 commentators on Centre Court alone.

Because of the growing overlap of terrestrial, cable, satellite and internet streaming transmissions, it is impossible to calculate exact figures of the number of people who follow Wimbledon each year; but it is safe to say that it is seen by more people throughout the world than any other tennis tournament.

I like how Wimbledon united the Americas under "North America."

I like how Wimbledon united the Americas under "North America."

Maybe because there isn't much distinction other than for a couple countries in North America.
It could have just looked like this:
Canada = TSN/RDS
United States = ESPN/Tennis Channel
Everybody Else = ESPN

I think they just forgot to rename it, but, yeah, I noticed ESPN owns it across the board execpt Canada

Is ESPN+ disallowing some replays? We are told the Anisimova match is blacked out!

I can't answer your question but here's what you missed.

Oh, no! Thanks for posting this - I hadn't heard about it! (We're always at least a day behind; we try to stay away from news and results until we've had a chance to watch matches on-demand at the end of the day.)

There were other matches that were blacked out, too, so I don't think the guy with the knife was the issue - I just tried to watch it again tonight, and we can see it. Maybe Tennis Channel had exclusive rights to the replay the day of the match?
