thegritt 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have heard rumblings but nothing for sure. Has anyone heard anything on a 24-hr poker or gambling channel kind of like say espn or mtv. I would love to see the old WSOP's from the 90's and 80's. Rumor I heard and belive me I am not connected to any kind of media is that ESPN might start a channel like this of some sort. Anyone heard anything? Link to post Share on other sites

PMJackson21 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/.../517790964.htmlInteresting article, thank you. The only problem I see with most of these channels is being able to provide enough original programming. It would be great to have a channel where they show old WSOP telecasts, WPT episodes, some of the FSN events, and so on and so forth, but I doubt ESPN, Travel Channel, and FSN will release the rights to any of that. They would have to form partnerships with some of the smaller events and build those up...Or maybe work a deal with Travel Channel/WPT to air pre-final table coverage of WPT events.Patrick Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever 1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I think it's safe to say it would immediately be a hit. I guess the question is for how long? Link to post Share on other sites
