ESPN's WSOP tv schedule

Sundevils21 · #1 05-07-2004, 11:52 PM

Does anybody have ESPN's schedule for when they are showing the different events of the wsop? Somebody posted it on one of these forums, but when i search for it I can't find it. I knew i should have added it to my fav. threads.
Could someone please post it here. Thanks.

It's great that they are covering events besides the final. I hope the WPT gets a 7-stud event.
BUT, it kinda sucks that we have to wait untill mid NOVEMBER to see the end of the main event.

After Fox Sports had an apparent success with "Showdown at the Sands" last fall, can't we have some "same week coverage" of poker? I find myself not caring enough about WPT events to watch. I read about what happened the same or next day, people discuss it, and then I'm done.

Totally agree. This is beyond silly. It's like showing the super bowl six months later. Who cares then?

i think the wpt's target audience doesn't know who wins the tourneys before they see it on tv, so they don't care that it happened months before.

If waiting a few months keeps Jesse May from being the lead commentator, I don't mind waiting.

Thanks for the schedule link! Time to get TiVo ready for all the new poker =)

Maybe Faux Sports could contract with Varkonyi to shave Jesse May's toupee off.

I think the main problem is that it takes forever to put the hole card/graphics/editing stuff together at this point in time. Not to mention that ESPN needs time to put the bio pieces together. Sure, hardcore fans would watch the unedited mess, but the 95% of the casual viewing public needs this stuff polished for them.

When was the 2003 WSOP main even first televised last year?
