NEW YORK The Tennis Channel is planning a great U.S. Open run-not at this year’s tournament, which starts today, but next year’s, for which the network boasts broadcast rights and a few new advertisers.

The channel will share the 2009 broadcast with ESPN and CBS, taking over from USA Networks. Armed with new research about its upper-income viewers (their median household income starts at $82,754), it has signed up advertisers like US Bank, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson and luxury goods seller Longines, said svp of ad sales Gary Herman.
