FOURTH SEASON FOR TRAVEL CHANNEL AND WPT
The early bird....
Press
reports from the USA reveal that the Travel Channel has exercised its option early
by announcing that it will broadcast the fourth season of the World Poker Tour
(WPT) which airs on Wednesday nights at 9pm ET/PT.
It's not hard to see
why an early re-up was decided. The highest rated show ever on The Travel Channel,
the WPT is now seen in over 60 countries worldwide, and its tournaments are held
at first class locales and resorts as far ranging as Paris, the Bahamas and Las
Vegas. When the WPT rolls into town, players are accorded a hero's welcome and
poker fans plan their schedules around the WPT Final Table taping.
"We
are thrilled to extend our relationship with The Travel Channel," said Executive
Producer and Founder of WPT, Steven Lipscomb. "Their commitment further reinforces
the WPT as the preeminent brand of poker while maintaining Wednesday night as
Poker Night! Together we will continue to build Poker as a mainstream sports sensation.
The program continues to be a ratings juggernaut, and the extension of
the deal will keep the popular weekly series a fixture on the network.
