Since we have the WSOP on ESPN 3 nights a week, we have the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel a couple times a week, high stakes poker on GSN, why don't we just get our shit together and create the Poker Network or Poker TV. The NFL network pulls off 24 hours of football coverage, even during the offseason. Why can't we create a network for poker? I mean let's be real here, poker isn't even a sport (ooh, another rant to blog about later!) Here is an example of how PTV can work
12 am to 6 am - Reruns of former WSOP satellites and main events.
7 am - 10 am - One hour of poker news(SportsCenter style- duh duh duh, duh duh duh)where broadcasters can discuss which big names are in what tournament, up and coming players, etc..
10 am - 2 pm - Player biographies - sort of the "behind the music" if you will about various poker players, their struggles, their success stories.
2 pm - 6 pm - Educational shows - how to play 7 card stud, Omaha Hi, stratgeies on Hold em, etc..
6 pm - 7 pm - Daily news again
7 pm - 12 am - Live coverage of current tournaments or big cash games. Live interviews
Come on now, how hard is it? Only need a few broadcasters for this, and I can bet dollars to donuts the average degenerate will fork over 7 bucks extra a month to Comcast or Dish Network if they think it will help them in the long run win more money. Good idea?????
