apart from the poor choice of channel (there are enough channels showing poker no need to conget the market more)
this is great news.
Why is it a poor choice of channel?
As I mentioned, this channel is available on freeview and therefore has more potential viewers than other Sky channels such as Challenge or the Poker Channel.
Sky have purchased the UK rights, and it is them that have decided to show it on the travel channel. Hopefully it will be well received and they will repeat it on Sky Sports.
on the unedited side will this ever hit the uk market if so any sort of time frame in mind?
I hope so. We will offer it to Sky again, and hopefully, if the edited shows are a success they will take them.

the reason its a poor choice of channel is that there is now so many channels showing poker its impossible to keep track
Five,challenge,bravo,men and motors,H&L,SKY,226,265,425,eurosport, channel 4 and ITV have new shows coming out this year too
getting on sky travel might bring in new viewers but at the cost of clashing with other programs and unless you have sky+ ( i am lucky that way) you cant even tape 1 and watch the other
if i was trying to sell a tv show on poker i would have tried to sell it too an existing channel first obviously you would have tried this and sky would have given you a better price so fair dues but poker is going to overcook itself soon and we will end up in a worse postion that we were before LNP
