Gary Wise interviewed Jeffrey Pollack, Henry Orenstein, and Jamie Horowitz on his November 26 podcast. ESPN poker executive Jamie Horowitz said that reporting the WSOP Main Event final table results on ESPN before the broadcast may have been a mistake, and they may change that for next year. Hole-card cam inventor and High Stakes Poker producer Henry Orenstein gave slightly different information about the High Stakes Poker season 5 taping than GSN's earlier press release: he had it taping an extra day, December 22, with a $500,000 minimum buyin. The podcast runs 1 1/2 hours, but those were the most interesting nuggets to me.

Jamie Horowitz doesn't offer much hope for better quality poker TV in his interview. He seems to believe their core audience is the guy in ESPN's focus group who watched a WSOP episode once and yukked it up when the football hit Bill Gazes in the face.
