Default Canada, the Travel Channel and the WPT

Looking to add the Travel Channel to my Bell Express Vu package but trying to figure out the optimal time to do so.

Some basic questions.

What or when is the WPT "season"?

How long after the actual event does it air on television?

Does the Travel Channel have exclusive rights to air these events before any other network? Meaning, is there a Travel Channel equivalent?

And just to be sure... the Travel Channel we receive in Canada - is it the same as the US station? Does it contain the same content?

Finally... the WPT events I was watching were probably a season or two behind (not sure if they were aired on TSN or SportsNet) - the Travel Channel will provide me with the most current programming, correct?

I'm sure this post meanders but any responses would be appreciated.

Nope, it's different. I'm pretty sure that there's no WPT on it at the moment. Don't know if they'll have it in the future though.

CITY-TV in Toronto owns the rights to the WPT in Canada. The 3rd season starts Sunday, April 3.

Is the "celebrity home game" shows from WPT from the current season? If not, what season are they from?

I don't even have cable but I watched these on Access (ch 13 in Alberta) on Friday Nights.
