Tennis Channel Hires TV Veteran |

Tennis Channel announced the hiring of Ross Schneiderman to senior coordinating producer, effective immediately. He will report to Bob Whyley, senior vice president of production and executive producer.

Schneiderman will oversee the network’s television production of the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open in addition to other top-level tournaments like those in Indian Wells, California, and Miami each spring.

As an eight-time Emmy Award winner who has worked on almost every major sporting event in the United States, Schneiderman comes to Tennis Channel with close to 30 years of television production experience. He most recently served as a producer at CBS Sports, where his primary duties included NFL football and NCAA basketball, in addition to producing the NBA playoffs for Turner Sports. He spent 15 years at NBC Sports prior to his time at CBS.

Schneiderman is no stranger to the tennis community – his first job out of college was as a player liaison with the Volvo Grand Prix men’s tennis tour.
