July 19, 2008

WPT Finds New Home On FSN.

WPTAfter months of speculation, the World Poker Tour has finally found a new home to broadcast its popular tournament series.

Once the most highly-rated program on both networks it was featured on - Travel Channel and Game Show Network - the WPT can breathe a sigh of relief after being signed by Fox Sports Net this past week.

The popular poker show, which is hosted by Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten, was in turmoil to start the year after it was reported that GSN had no plans to retain the show - despite it being one of the most watched programs on its network schedule.

Talks went through nicely, and the Fox syndicate will start airing new episodes of the World Poker Tourin the coming months.  Overall, 26 episodes are slated to be aired, with the first two coming from the recently completed Bellagio Cup IV.
