    The virtual set wont be making a return as those facilities are not available at Sky (we used to be based at another campus) plus its very dated. The new sets are inline with Sky Sports and Sky News.

    The main thing is the actual programming and the content from the channel. This will see a massive improvement and 'should' please everyone

    With an audience made up of poker players I fail to see how anyone could not be pleased...............

    We will devote the last show of the live shows to show the highlights of the tournaments that night. Gives you plenty of time to get your hand request in too

    to be honest 1 hour out of 5 for live tournie isn't very much and won't allow time for many hands to be shown. can't see the point in having live show if there are only a few live hands being shown - and yes i do include mastercash. i can understand filling up the first couple of hours with cash and chat - early levels of most tournies aren't exactly exciting; but surely the shows are meant to be about analysing the live play and not just selected big hands.
    not sure where you are going with this program. maybe a lot more detail would be advisable to help explain the changes.

    Nobody ever likes change but I suggest you tune in during February and see what you think then

    Thanks

    have never had any problem with change; SPT schedual, Top of the Pots etc. all excellent changes.
    i will watch the new programs and make my mind up. however a few more details would not go amiss.

    I disagree with Lozgo, the early levels of the tournament often provide more interesting poker than the final table, where blinds dictate "fold or shove" poker a high proportion of the time.

    I'm sure some of the changes will be good, some perhaps not so, but we've all got to give it a few months to bed in to see quite how it all works out.

    There is 15 new shows per week, not including some pro interviews on location, more Hot Seats and Sky Pokre Tour coverage.

    The shows are:
    Sky Poker School - 1 per night, so 3 in total covering all levels, ability, cash, tournaments and Omaha
    Poker Clinic
    Top Of The Pots
    Sky Poker Highlights- 2 nights per week
    Ask The Expert/ Guest
    Top of Sky Poker (similar to TOTP's)
    Master Cash
    Chat Box
    Analysis My Play
    Tonight on Sky Poker- 3 nights per week

    Most do what they say in the titles, but obviously as times go on we will makes changes to all the shows to see what works well or doesnt.

    I think it would be wrong for me to put exactly what is going to happen in each show on here as changes can happen night to night. If we feel that a certain show is not working that we can replace it.

    We have been reading all the feedback that comes on the forum and into the show to try and give the viewers what they want.

    Always going to be difficult to please everyone but always great to hear constructive criticism and aim to keep evolving the channel going forward

    I like lozgo have reservations about the forth-coming changes not following the big tournies from start to finish (or near finish) will be a major loss of viewing pleasure IMO. I have not missed a live show in about 3 years obv recording the ones when I have been away on holiday etc.
    The 1 show I would like to see again is the one with John Tabatabi as guest annalist this IMO was one of the classics. Please repeat this if at all possible.
    I will without question be viewing the new format next month and I hope for many more years of enjoyable viewing.

    Oh poor Tikay he has been rushed off his feet this week with rehearsals, the Stylist (he's looking good), PTN and SPT this weekend

    I have had official photos of the set and talent taken and these will go to press next Wednesday plus put on the site for people to see.

    Don't want to ruin the excitement :)
