Title: 2015 WSOP coverage on telly
Post by: tikay on September 15, 2015, 11:24:33 AM

This may be a day late - I only received it last night - but it outlines the 2015 WSOP coverage on ESPN for the next x weeks.

The times may be US times, too, so might need converting. Apart from that, it's 100% accurate. Possibly. 



ESPN Coverage of World Series of Poker Main Event Begins Tonight



ESPN’s coverage of the 2015 World Series of Poker (WSOP) continues with the Main Event Championship beginning Monday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. Main Event coverage, from the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, will air weekly until Sunday, Nov. 8, when the event concludes with a new three-day live final table format November 8 through 10, which will air live as play dictates duration.
 
Lead commentator Lon McEachern and analyst Norman Chad return this year, along with roving reporter Kara Scott. ESPN.com will offer blogs, podcasts and interviews with the game’s top players. Main Event Championship telecast is presented by DraftKings.

I was trying to set up a reminder for this and searched the whole day yesterday. However, I couldnt find the program anytime:( I was searching the BT Sports/ ESPN HD channel 426 in SKy.
PLease can someone tell whether this is right/ it comes in a different channel all together?

Was worried that may be the case. The Press Release came from Seth Palansky at the WSOP, so it may have just referred to ESPN America.

This will be USA facing ESPN.  ESPN doesn't even exist in the uk anymore.  It is now rebranded BT sport.

First episode is on 4am Wednesday on my BTESPN channel on Virgin Media.

EDIT, that's a rerun of 2014 WSOP :(

I read somewhere that it's switching from ESPN2 to ESPN from Oct 4th so that should be good news for anyone with BT ESPN.

edit - nevermind can see that on the initial post now  :blonde:

The first two shows were on bt/espn channel last night 9-11pm, got lucky and managed to spot them. Put it on series record but there is not listing for the next episodes so probably going to be all over the place.

Was on my TiVo as National Championships. Was it actually WSOP Main then? :(

I'd got mine set as a series record from the national championships and I just found out it recorded 2 main event day 4's at 4am and 5am last night on bt/espn

Yup not watched them yet but had a quick look at first 5 mins and definitely the 1st two main event programmes for this year.

Sadly the coverage starts on day 4
They appear on YouTube at around 8/9 pm Tuesday nights

I dont know what is it but I've not enjoyed the coverage as much so far and I watch every episode every year and usually love it.

I think starting from day 4 has been a bit of a detraction for me since it's nice to see the tournament unfold right from the very beginning
