Didn't even realise the WTA went down to 125 - thought 250 was the lowest level of tournament.
If it were a proper local channel there must be dozens of London leagues with events that could be covered - not sure any would justify week in, week out, coverage, but finals of events scattered throughout the year would certainly tick the local box.
Bol is in Croatia
WTA 125 is the WTA's sort-of equivalent to the ATP Challenger Tour. It doesn't count as part of the WTA Tour and is almost forgotten about with no official broadcast/streaming platform of its own (unlike the ATP Challenger tour which does)
As far as domestic tennis goes, the LTA streams various events on its own social media, now and then. There is also the UK Pro League which gets coverage on BT Sport Extra but I doubt it gets many viewers. There haven't been any ITF level events, the third tier below Challenger, in the UK since 2019, but they will return next year.
