EPT To Hit Channel Four

[snoopy1239]

Incoming news: The EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo is to be broadcast on Channel Four this month. Personally, I hope this revitalises televised poker, but I'm not sure....

Me neither. My hope is that they get enough viewers to trigger a full season's coverage on terrestrial TV as I don't currently have Sky and would love to watch it. However, it will be tricky with that late slot.

It could well be that Channel 4 have acquired the rights for virtually nothing. After all ad revenue in those slots will be at the low end of the rate card

when else could they put it on though when it would have the potential to reach the correct demographic and command a high volume of viewers? 10pm would be ideal but they have documentary's and desperate housewives and stuff like that on, the guy in charge of scheduling would be shot if he tried to put it on then!

Industry sources suggest this was to avoid clashing with Sky Poker's nightly Live Show.

This spam bought to you by me.

The opening episode of the GUKPT found itself pushed back in the schedule because Channel 4 wanted to show a repeat of 'Dumped', a pointless reality show about people forced to live on a rubbish dump for two weeks. The original airing for this episode of Dumped was just a couple of hours earlier and even though there was already a +1 Channel and opportunities to repeat it on More 4, they still chose to bump back the poker show to make way for it.

Oh yes, I've seen that show, it's garbage. Trash TV if you ask me.
