OK, really? Time Warner cable is offering free tickets to the US Tennis Open in Flushing Meadows. The US Open is carried by CBS, which Time Warner has dropped from its cable systems in a carriage fee fight with CBS. Hmmmm…. This should be interesting. You can’t watch the tennis on TV thanks to Time Warner but you can go be one of the first 500 people to see it live thanks to them. CBS has the deal with the US Open this year and next. In 2015 it moves to ESPN. If Time Warner hasn’t dropped them, then tennis fans will be able to see the games.Otherwise, TW subscribers will have to get into this lottery. Maybe Time Warner will run similar offers for tapings of “Homeland,” “NCIS,” and “60 Minutes.”
