Just over 2 weeks till 'The Poker Channel" goes live !!!!!(UK)

If you go to sky channel 265 you'll see the Poker Channel pre-view went live yesterday. It's the first channel in the world dedicated to nothing but poker. More great news, is it's a free to air channel. I half expected to have to pay a subscription. Now lets hope the content lives up to expectation.

It needs to be a lot better than that!

The lineup that some people have mentioned seems to be one of bad players who are good self-promoters.
If they do well, then good luck to them, but the actual content will probably be unwatchable for any half-decent player.

We just have to hope that the non-decent players enjoy it.

Well Joe knocked me out of a tourny once. But thats ok, I knocked out his buddy Barney first (and earned a bounty on his head too!) so I guess thats fair.

Really.... does he suck? I thought he was the best of the Mob.

I don't know really, it just seems that he's on the preview quite a lot and hasn't had that many *major* results.

Ram Vaswani is by far and away the best player in "The Hendon Mob". Judging by what I've seen on TV and heresay he's probably a World Class Player and one of the best in Europe.

Read "The only" for "by far and away"

Can't put a Sky dish on the house, any news if this is going to be on Telewest cable?

Anyone think this would work in the U.S.? If it even remotely got the attention of 25% of the poker players here, I think that an All Poker Network would work. I'm not quite sure if poker shown on TV is too popular with you average player, but this UK station will be a good judge of that. Besides poker tourny's, celebrity games, and action dramas like "Tilt" what else would be on the station? Right now there are so many cable stations out there, i'm actually suprised there isnt a poker station yet. So who wants to start one up with me in the U.S.?

damn, maybe it's time to move back to the UK.
Or maybe I can try to arrange a sattelite dish..
