Overview
- TNT Sports announced a two-hour morning whiparound, The Mac Zone, for the first six days of Roland-Garros, with the first hour on Bleacher Report’s YouTube and both hours on truTV from 9–11 a.m. ET.
- John and Patrick McEnroe will choose the live matches and chat with viewers in the YouTube comments, with creator Lucas Brody joining as co-host.
- The show will originate from a new set near Court Philippe-Chatrier to encourage quick player visits during the Paris afternoon window.
- The altcast fits into a broader plan that keeps Rally on truTV before and after the show, places marquee matches on TNT, and streams qualifying on HBO Max.
- TNT points to a 25% ratings jump last year and 800 million Bleacher Report video views as the business case for this format, with the main draw beginning May 24.
