In an interview with PokerNews.com, Mori Eskandani mentioned GSN's ongoing discussions about the future of poker on the channel:
Amanda Leatherman: What about High Stakes Poker? Everyone's asking: did it get picked up? What's happening?
Mori Eskandani: I just had, just yesterday, a conversation with GSN and they have several meetings and they still haven't determined just exactly what direction they're going to take poker. So it's poker in general, it's not just High Stakes Poker. If they decide that poker is going to live on GSN, I have no doubt in my mind there's going to be plenty of High Stakes. So, we have to wait.

The extension WPTE granted to GSN expired Saturday. The original option expired on a Saturday two weeks ago, and they filed the 8-K about the extension the following Monday. Legally, they would have till Thursday, at the latest, to file any statement. If they had anything positive to say, however, I think we'd hear about it immediately. I'll see if they have anything to say Monday.
