ty !
In the words of the great tikay, I think I love you
In regards to some of your questions on here the channel is so high up the EPG because its falls under the category of 'gambling,' however we have a teleshopping licence, part of which is the thing you see scrolling across the bottom of your screens. We are hoping that now we have this licence we can push Sky Poker onto some other channels like we do on a Thursday night with Sky Sports.
This summer there will be more shows going on the schedule and you should see footage from the WSOP, WSOPE and the EPT London.
If you would like to come on the channel as a guest or would like to do a live phone in just PM me on here and I will get our Producers to give you a call.
During the live shows our Presenters do alot of give- aways including free entry into tournaments and merchandise. They also do this during their PTP sessions every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Just make sure during these evenings you find their forum posts and enter their competitions.
The channel can be viewed anywhere in the world through the website, and only the other day did we get an email from a viewer in New Mexico saying how he loved to watch online and how its improved his game! We also recently put a show on Sky Anytime…. I know this doesn’t help those who don’t have a Sky subscription but it helps with viewers and getting the channel 'out there'. Live games- fingers crossed we could be doing this in the studio towards the end of the year (no promises). To rig, light and film a live game is an incredible expense, plus you have to purchase the table, dealers, more cameras etc, so we are just thinking about the best way to do it. This could include inviting celebs, sports personalities, home player and pro players into the studio. If you have been down to the studios you will understand its not the biggest space once you get all there people and kit in. I know its something we would all love to work on down at the studios! Right I am turning into Tikay so I will stop writing so much, but as I said earlier keep giving us your feedback!
My ideas are.
1.Add Antes to the game, this is used in all poker tournaments and induces more action plus gets rid of the no shows quicker
It will also mean that the tournaments they show on Sky would then complete on the day and not stop just as it gets to the best bit (the final table)
2.More 9/10 seater tournaments, again this is a real situation like antes, you do not find many WSOP/EPT tournaments run on 6 seater tables.
3.Give Richard some just for men (targets only the grey)
4.Give AceBarry his own show (the club would do)
the rest have been covered already about repeats, used to watch most nights, TK/Rich better than anything else shown on primetime (apart from Harry Hill)
Regards Gary
Another idea is to show really old 'classic' shows. Not the programmes for that week but tournies / league/ five0 etc etc from years back.
When the clips were shown on Sky's birthday programme there were some really funny, classic clips. Surely that would be entertaining and CHEAP as it's sky poker's to simply re show (regardless of how old the programmes are from).
Can`t wait !!!!...
TOPLESS FEMALE PRESENTERS A GOOD IDEA BUT THINK OF THE HEATING BILL
But on the flip side, think of all those houses round the country that will no longer need to have their heating on!
Yeah, but once summer is gone and winter is back all it needs is one cold snap and, well, let's just make sure someone check in ok Tikay regularly.
