EUROSPORT DEAL ESTIMATED TO BE $50M BOOST TO SANEX WTA TOUR

          In a deal "estimated by insiders to be worth at least"
     $50M, the Sanex WTA Tour and its TV partner, Regency
     Enterprises, have signed a TV deal for Eurosport to provide
     European coverage of women's tennis for the next five years,
     according to Christian Moerk of DAILY VARIETY.  As part of
     the deal, Eurosport will increase its women's tennis
     coverage from 200 hours in '99 to more than 300 hours in
     2000, "with future increases anticipated."  The deal marks
     "the first time" that Eurosport will cover more women's than
     men's tennis, and Moerk writes it "reflects the growing Euro
     viewer interest" in the women's game (DAILY VARIETY, 12/21).
