The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has confirmed Sunset+Vine will continue as the host broadcaster for four British tennis tournaments in the run up to Wimbledon, after signing a new two-year contract.

The sports TV production company will produce the live feed from three upcoming WTA Tour events – in Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne – and a new ATP tournament in Nottingham in 2015 and 2016.

Sunset+Vine will produce around eight hours of live programming per day from each of the grass-court tournaments, which together total 22 days of competition.

Eurosport has already committed to broadcasting all of the events in the UK, with BBC set to showcase the WTA event in Eastbourne.

Jeff Foulser, the chairman of Sunset+Vine, said: “Sunset+Vine has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with the LTA, which we are delighted is now set to continue for a further two years.”

“We look forward to delivering the highest quality of tennis coverage for broadcasters and viewers alike and in raising the profile of the quality of play that takes place at these important events in the tennis calendar.”
