CLUMPS AND CLUMPS of poker on TV 11/24-30
Poker on television starts a big run this week- WSOP 2003, WPT from last year, and the Sands tournament on Comcast
(Thanksgiving Day is now renamed Tournament Day- will you see any football?). Actually, are we now talking about overkill here? I've now separated it (you'll see why) - poker is first and other gambling is in the second list. As always, these are EST listings- check your local listings to confirm: Monday, 24 9:00 AM Gambling Games---Why the House Wins D-HOME Examining casino games of chance, including baccarat, craps, poker, roulette and slot machines, to reveal facts and insights into the strategies of winning and the odds of losing.

Now I couldn't find most of this on TV Guide online... interesting. Maybe I'm not getting them all on my cable system?
It looks as if there will be two 6-hour blocks. Note that the times below are Pacific, supposedly (i have my doubts). Check Fox Sports Network on that day to see when for sure Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 12:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 01:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 02:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 03:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 04:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 05:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 08:00pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 09:00pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 10:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Thu Nov 27 11:30pm PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Fri Nov 28 12:30am PST Showdown at the Sands Atlantic City Poker Tournament FSW, Fri Nov 28 01:30am PST From the FS online listing: Six one-hour shows, back-to-back on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, are set to run from 12:30 PM local time to 6:30 PM local time, with repeats of the final two episodes beginning at 8:00 PM. Using 21 cameras, 21 tape machines, 12 instant replay machines, three continuous running editing computers and a special event NFL broadcast truck, Fox Sports Net airs action less than 24 hours after the tournament's completion, an astounding feat by all measures. "We're going to handle it like a live production, with all the bells and whistles," said George Greenberg, Executive Vice President, Programming and Production, Fox Sports Net. "What Fox Sports did for football, Fox Sports Net will do for poker." Fox Sports Net also offers the first ever "Rabbit Hunting" camera. In the event of a fold, viewers get to see the cards the dealer never flipped over and only they will know if folding was a good idea or if it cost the player thousands of dollars. The players will never have that luxury until they too watch it on Fox Sports Net. |
