Re: Poker fad already fading?
Someone probably already mentioned this but I am going say it anyways. There is one HUGE difference between poker and every other fad. Poker is gambling and gambling is addicting.

Re: Poker fad already fading?
This is a silly article, because it fails to point out that the scheduling is really awful - people would watch more poker if only they could find it.
Of course the WSOP TV is down - they kept pre-empting it with sports events and then repeating the same episodes over and over. I had a hard time keeping up. As for the WPT, the season is too short. It runs from March to June/July and then they keep repeating. It's hard to build a loyal following with lack of new shows. The Ultimate Poker Challenge is all over the place. In my area it doesn't have a regular time slot and when I do occasionally catch it, I can't hear the commentary for all the background noise. Bravo Celebrity Poker is always on Thursdays at 9pm. People can find it and people watch it. It's that simple. |
