Why hasn't there been another live final table broadcast?

[Aceshigh7]

Just curious. The Turning Stone broadcast last year was universally well received. Both by the poker fans and by the FSN network. I was hoping it would begin a new trend of showing live final tables but there hasn't been another one since. What is the reason for this? Is it a logistical problem? Are there plans in the works for another live broadcast?

It was a great production and amazing to watch.

Yea, I would love it if they broadcasted the WSOP final table, live. That would be a great, annual event to watch with a group of friends and some beers.

I definitely agree, I think the live broadcast was great and waas hoping that a trend would start. As for ESPN, I really doubt they'd ever do a live broadcast. Most of the poker coverage is showing preflop all in coin flops. Isn't that exciting? ESPN is a terrible network. I just wish they didn't have WSOP broadcasting rights.

ESPN's rights end with this year's event. Harrah's is in negotiations with various networks including ESPN.
