Poker on television through 8/27/05
 

Since my ability to carve out time to do these weekly summaries is questionable through the end of summer period (and then the 3+1 Challenge starts up)... I'm giving the sources you can use yourself (if you didn't know them already) TV Guide- http://www.tvguide.com/ and Yahoo TV- http://tv.yahoo.com/
Sign in with both, it will give you listings for your own area/cable company

USA television schedule results below are based on Eastern Daily Savings Time (EDT)- filtered from the TV Guide listings. Check your local provider to make sure you will actually get these at the times listed.
Shows may be followed by their Comcast channel (East Coast) and then the station letters.
"PDT??" means Yahoo listed this time as Pacific Daylight Savings time, but it's not always accurate. Just ??? means I adjusted from the PDT time.

I am marking the "new" poker shows with "NPS" in front, to make it a little easier to sort out things.

WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS- The WSOP on ESPN starts showing the actual WSOP events on Tuesday nights. Celebrity Poker started their new "season" last week. Check your listings for PS Invitations II, Poker Million '05 and others- I only listed the first few from Yahoo TV online.

One word about the 2005 WSOP airings This may change again, as the original times already have. There also seems to be a difference between ESPN listings for the planned WSOP broadcasts here ESPN WSOP schedule as of 8/21/05 and the listings that TV Guide has for Tuesday, 8/23/05 (Yahoo TV matches ESPN's current schedule). ESPN has changed the schedule from that which I posted earlier this summer.

Non-poker: Skipping this time

TUESDAY 8/23
"NPS" 10:00 PM World Series of Poker: ESPN
2005 WSOP second show- either Event #4 $1500 Limit HE, or some Pot-Limit event

[/ QUOTE ]

Event #2 ran long (a day over) so the final table of it was the same time as the final table of event #3 ($1,500 PL HE)

I think the second show tuesday is what they did capture from event #3 (starting after event #2 ended)

I only know this because a friend of mine ended up 9th place in event #3 but didn't get any tv time.

Re: Poker on television through 8/27/05
 

The second show on Tuesday is Event #4...the $1500 Limit event.

While this one wasn't supposed to be televised, the schedules got rearranged, and this one made it.

I like to record all of the "all-new" shows. But I can never figure out which ones aren't repeats..
