Title: Thewy. Channing. Goodwin. Devilfish. Compo. On TV. Tonight. "In-Poker".
Post by: tikay on November 27, 2008, 02:30:20 PM

Yup, a feature on Thewy.

And an exclusive interview with Neil Channing, recorded in Blackpool last week, in which he discussed his Staking philosophy.

Marc Goodwin interviewed in Blackpool, too. And a feature on Devilfish. And plenty more besides.

Plus Bits & bobs from the Blackpool GUKPT, & a sort of (now a little late) round up of poker news from across the globe.

And I leave the best till last.

Compo.

"In Poker".

8.30pm, tonight, Sky Poker, Channel 865. Repeated straight after "The 5-00", at Midnight tonight.

Enjoy.

I have just seen a preview of this, & I forgot to mention that Jonathan Raab also gives us an interview.

The Neil Channing piece is a 2-parter, the Staking stuff will be in Part Two.

Tenenciously ftw.

I don't know if you can get it on Virgin, but the Sky Poker TV Channel has live streaming 24/7 on their website.

Excellent show. A weekly show...on poker...what shall we call it?
top class either way


Title: Re: Thewy. Channing. Goodwin. Devilfish. Compo. On TV. Tonight. "In-Poker".
Post by: tikay on November 28, 2008, 05:12:16 AM

It was just a sort of experiment, a one-off. There may, or may not, be others, it just depends on how it is received, & whether an acceptable business model for the Show can be established - somehow, directly or indirectly, the cost of these Shows, indeed everything on Sky Poker, Channel 865 - has to prove it's worth by generating additional revenue to the Site.

Of course, I'd love there to be more stuff along the same lines, but audience reaction, & cost/return equations will decide that.

I thought it was OK, especially for a "first", & improvement can be expected if it goes any further. We shall see.

Either way, I loved doing it, & it was a thrilll to work with Compo again, so it's a Freeroll in my book.

Post by: Longy on November 28, 2008, 06:39:46 AM
I thought it was the best programme I have watched on skypoker, but alas as I have said before Tikay this is probably a bad sign from the commercial side of things. As i don't represent the right target audience.


Title: Re: Thewy. Channing. Goodwin. Devilfish. Compo. On TV. Tonight. "In-Poker".
Post by: DaveShoelace on November 28, 2008, 09:24:08 AM
I think it is a must for Sky Poker. The club is fine and is very good for general interest sort of things, but Sky Poker really needs a 'UK circuit' sort of show and this one fits the bill. With GUKPT, DTD and all sorts of other interesting stuff going on every week, Im sure there would be plenty of material in 2009.

Plus if it gets Tikay out of the house and he gets an ice cream every week like on the first one, its all good.

It might be a case of "promoting" the typical sky player onto the live scene by Sky running sats/promotions to these live events?
They have the Sky Tour and they did the WSOP sats......which dovetail nicely into a live reporting programme.

Thanks for the feedback. This was a pilot programme and it's good to see that there's interest. The title...we are open to suggestions (I quite fancy "Rate My Fry Up", though "Last Of The Summer Whinge" has a ncie ring to it. We could shoot titles with Tikay sliding downhill in a bathtub). We're scheduling a second showing on Saturday at 2030 and 0030 for those who want to catch it or Sky Plus it. More feedback very welcome.

I guess one thing these programmes dont have, or many poker media for that matter, would be more profiles/features/interviews on up and coming internet players. Obviously you get all the big live pros from these events (And thats also what we want to see) but there are lots of UK online players that would be interesting to do features on players ike Moorman, Chufty, Ben (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=45) Grundy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=45), Fergus, Andrew (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=787) Feldman (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=787) etc.

We all know who Durrr is and some of the US online players, about time we had more on homegrown online players?

I enjoyed 'In Poker' very much. Tying it in to Sky Players satellited into big tournaments, as mentioned above, would be a good way of potentially increasing poker room revenue.

Thanks.

As to the idea, as earlier suggested by Ripple, Satelliting players from Sky (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) Poker (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) into Tourneys the Show might cover, that's a whizz idea - I shall send it to Sky (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) Poker (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) post-haste. Though I expect they've seen it on this thread already, & claimed the idea as theirs. Suits, eh?

The reason it's so good is that, the big problem with this type of (proposed) Show is revenue. They COST a lot, but do they generate revenue? In most cases, no, they don't, or, at least, it's hard to prove they do.

Whereas the idea suggested would at least show some evidence of revenue generation linked to the Show.

I know it sounds like "money money money", but it's a fact of life. These Shows have to be paid for, somehow.

Great idea, Ripple & Techno, you will be rewarded in Sky (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) Poker (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) Heaven, I'm sure. Or maybe, shot.
