bmtphs05 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 And it's Fox Sports Net.http://www.pokernews.com/news/2008/07/wpt-...-sports-net.htmAccording to sources close to the deal, the WPT's Season VII will consist of 26 episodes and will air each Sunday evening, somewhere in the "prime time" (6-10 pm) hours for starting time. Each episode will be one hour long. The initial starting date and the exact starting time for the series' run are among the details still be ironed out as the show is fit into the FSN broadcast schedule. The sources did report, however, that longtime hosts Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten will return to their roles behind the microphone. The first two episodes will cover the Bellagio Cup in Las Vegas, the final table of which is being contested today. Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 8 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 good news. I was starting to get a little worried. With the main event getting close to 7k and this news I guess poker is still going strong. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thankfully the GSN experiment is over, 1500+ channels from Time Warner and somehow they just don't have room or need for that one. Haven't seen a new episode since Carlos' WPT Championship. Link to post Share on other sites

There are 14 stops this year on the tour and 26 episodes to air.2. Season VII will have 1 hour shows while all previous seasons were 2 hours or longer.3. Sunday night vs NFL will most likely spell doom. Link to post Share on other sites
