Hi!
I know that in the States there is poker on tv evry week, but down there in europe (in France for me), we don't seem to have that much...or is it only in France??? Yesterday I have seen the European poker tour on Eurosport, but I have never seen an american event...

The Partypoker World Open (taped in England) should be on in Europe within the next couple months... it will be a 16 episode show. Actually the finals are probably going to start taping in about 15 minutes and I'm heading to the studio (to watch, unfortunately) in the near future. Don't know what channel or when or even what countries for sure.

The European Series on Eurosport is all I have ever seen in Austria as well. Pity there doesn't seem to be a poker channel like in the USA.

Down here in Israel poker is on 2-4 times a week on ESPN.
I was very disappointed that Eurosport didn't air EPT Vienna although it clearly said they would on the menu.

They aired the Vienna EPT on Friday. It was 10 minutes later than scheduled. Eurosport's scheduling is a bad joke at the best of times [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Up here in scandinavia they used to send a lot of poker events on the Viasat sport channels.

Huge amounts of poker on the TV here in england. Most of it is total crap tho.

There is a Poker Channel on Sky now. This shows footage of old tournaments, as well as a few advice clips. One interesting program is where a pro (Barney Boatman) joins in someones homegame and passes on advice and evaluates their play.
