Re: Pool on ESPN vs Poker
[ QUOTE ]
ESPN WSOP Coverage averaged 1.2 million per episode in 2003, and I can only guess its gone way up since then since I can't find updated stats for that. To give you a better idea, the WPT episodes on the Travel Channel (Which far fewer households get, and has much lower ratings than ESPN) averages 3-5 million in 2005.

Those numbers may be for the 3 times the show aired during the week. Here's Travel Channel's numbers from an article that was posted in the Stock Market forum (Look for the article titled WPTE) [ QUOTE ]
The World Poker Tour's TV ratings are down this year, according to Nielsen. In 2003, the show averaged 922,000 viewers an episode. That figure rose to 985,000 a show last year. So far this year, it is 888,000.
