has anyone else heard this. If it's a duplicate post, forgive me, but I know we've bitched and moaned over discussed this, and this was the first reference I have seen that it is coming in 2009:

Good news is that the WTA Tour plans to begin offering a live-streaming package of its elite events similar to what the ATP has done the past few years with its Masters Series.

Big rec to the entire article, which sums up many of the changes to be made to the WTA Tour in 2009. and a real interesting sidenote about the new title of the ATP Tour (which effective 2009 is officially the "ATP World Tour").

There is also this ATP/WTA combo plan:

I don't know how much it will cost.

Thanks GV. I signed up for their notice, so as soon as the info on costs, availability,... gets released, we'll be sure to have it here at TAT.

Now I'm laughing since that link has the new ATP World Tour logo. And only 3 of the top 20 players would use the word "World".

Kicking off with the Medibank Sydney International tournament this week, subscribers to TennisTV.com can follow their favourite players through extensive live and archive footage from the start of the season right through its conclusion at the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha and the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

A variety of packages will allow fans to subscribe to live action of either women's or men's events or a combination of both, and will also include exclusive interviews, behind the scenes footage, and daily roundups. Free in-depth highlights will also be available from both Tours.

Don't appear to be Mac compatible. Therefore, I'm stuck with TV coverage and what little of Channel Surfing offers, which will eliminate many of the non-marquee players I want to see, such as, Sprem, Dokic and the like.
