WPT to Move
The Game Show Network plans to couple their ratings giant High Stakes Poker (HSP) with the newly acquired World Poker Tour franchise as part of a Monday night "must-see-TV-type" package beginning early next year, GSN President Rich Cronin said.
"It's going to be right in prime time as part of our Casino Night," Cronin said. "I think it will prove to be great synergy to have our poker cash game coupled with great tournament poker play."
The WPT, hosted by the Travel Channel for five seasons, announced the move today. The season-six contract agrees to air 23-episodes, starting with the Mirage Poker Showdown, which will begin taping in May.
