the end of dedicated poker channels?

I may be wrong there Matt, but my point was, even if it is called Channel 425 NOW, shortly it will be called Channel 854 or whatever. Poker 425 on Channel 854, hardly rolls off the tongue, eh?

bollinger is still bollinger even if they put it in a bottle labelled "aldi wine" - if you are worried about losing both your viewers have no fear i will personally go visit them and reprogramme their sky boxes for you

phew. but yeah sky really are changing alot of crap around lately. if they don't stop soon i'm gonna have a fit.

PokerZone & Poker Channel both have new slots in the 800 series, I forget the exact numbers.

As it happens, I begin a weekly Live Phone-in to Poker Night Live tomorrow night - Wednesday - direct from Vienna. I will be doing one night  week, as will a few others, including none other than Monty Burns himself. Do try to miss it, I'm nervous & a bit shy about whether I can cut this deal. They want me to talk as if I am talking Poker to a mate.......

We could make great team, you talk, and I'll say "Eh?" every now and then

[tikay]

But would your eyebrows work on a phone-in Tom?

[RED-DOG]

Eh?

Unless you are BBC1, BBC2, of Five, it's bit of risk naming your channel after your channel number as you at the mercy of BSkyB as to where you exist on their EPG, not to mention that there's very little chance of getting the same number if you are on cable as well.
 As for Poker425, the feeling is that everyone, the players, casinos & the viewers, know us very well as Poker425 & to rename ourselves Poker8xx will just confuse matters (plus we can't afford the re-branding of our T-Shirts & Caps!! )
Agree with Tikay, it hardly rolls off the tongue, but I'm sure everyone will find their fave poker programme wherever we get moved to! (I believe there will be an announcement in the next day or so).
