US Open Tennis

I watched the US Open Tennis on Sky Showcase (I think that’s what it was called) for two nights. Now there is nothing there except alternative programmes.
I don’t want Sky Sport., and thought I had found a way to watch, but now it has disappeared. Why did Sky do this for two nights, then stop. So disappointing.

I think Showcase is like a freebie teaser of otherwise paid sub channels.

@Brenda-w

As @Chodley indicates, it cost Sky a considerable amount of money to secure five years of US Open rights from USTA, so they aren't going to give it away.

Sky describes Showcase as 'a linear only main event channel that will curate a selection of the top shows from across Sky’s portfolio of entertainment brands. So when you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for, Sky Showcase is the place to go to find something new to watch'

Ah I didn't know this about Sky Showcase. So disappointed. Thank you for letting me know.
