Not that it affects me, as I have Prime anyway. Apparently so! Quote Emma Raducanu’s US Open final to be shown free-to-air in UK on Channel 4 The Guardian Amazon Prime will share its live coverage of Emma Raducanu's US Open final against Leylah Fernandez with Channel 4 on Saturday evening so it can seen on free-to-air TV. The broadcasters held talks through the night over a sub-licensing deal that would enable the match to shown live on Prime and on Channel4 at 9pm this evening. Amazon has said it will reinvest all of the fees from the deal into British women's tennis to support the next generation of female talent.

Phil Silvers Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Got channel 4 on instead of Prime and c4 are using the amazon feed, guess they cashed in some of their chips to spread the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think they just did a deal to broadcast the feed. Let's face it, their viewing figures will be miles ahead of Amazon as its free to view. Don't know how many subscribers Prime has but there's surely a massive majority who haven’t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2021 Won the first break of serve. Shame it wasn't sooner as she was actually 15 - 40 up but finally did it after a mammoth game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Have they put the stats up, feels like more UE's from Emma then she has had all week so far. Still a good match though, way better then their rankings would suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
