MORE BACKGAMMON ACTION - NOW IT'S ON TV
GameAccount and Pokerzone partner up to produce TV backgammon
Skill gaming provider and developer GameAccount Global Ltd. and the Pokerzone television channel will collaborate to bring viewers live Backgammon as a result of an agreement signed this week.
The broadcasts will be via Pokerzone's global poker and gaming lifestyle channel which is available via satellite, cable and broadband television.
The partnership means that Pokerzone will use live in-game footage taken from GameAccount's WorldGammon brand and destination site to educate and stimulate interest in this classic parlour game. Backgammon already enjoys huge worldwide popularity and its legal status as a pure game of skill has ensured a dedicated online audience as well. Hundreds of thousands of people daily enjoy games of virtual Backgammon, from recreational newcomers to the more serious experienced pros.
Pokerzone (Sky Channel 843) will drive the editorial content and draw on GameAccount's existing expertise to demonstrate the appeal of Backgammon to a targeted gaming audience. Each episode will last 3 hours for an initial run of 12 episodes, as well as additional repeats, every weekend, starting this October.
Pokerzone has already achieved a track record in televising Backgammon, debuting the world's first televised matchplay Backgammon event in addition to a series of lifestyle documentaries surrounding the "Sport of Kings" in 2005.
