Channel 4 viewers have complained after there was no sound for the opening minutes of the coverage of the US Open final.
The channel agreed a deal with Amazon Prime to show Emma Raducanu's historic final against fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez on free-to-air TV in the UK.
But as viewers tuned in on Channel 4 HD, they were met with silence from the studio.

Some shared their frustrations on Twitter, joking that the broadcaster had neglected to agree a deal for the sound.
One person wrote: 'Channel 4 lawyers furiously reading the small print in their US Open final coverage for tonight. Sound seemingly not part of the deal.'
Another said: 'Channel 4 going for the no sound option tonight???'
It was announced earlier today that Raducanu's shot at US Open glory would be available to watch for Britons on free-to-air TV.
The 18-year-old has captivated the nation with her exploits in New York and she takes on Fernandez in the showpiece event hoping to become the first British woman to win a grand slam in 44 years.
