Poker 2Nite: Poker News Show To Air On Fox Sports Net

Joe Sebok (poker player, founder of PokerRoad.com, and son of Barry Greenstein) announced:

We... will be launching a new poker-based news show that will air on FoxSports television (!) nationally every week. It's called "Poker 2Nite" and we are going to try and bring as much of the PokerRoad sensibility to the show as we possibly can. We shoot the first show on 11/17, with episodes to air Wednesdays at 11pm starting the next day, the 18th, and then being rebroadcast throughout the weekend.

The initial run of the show is 13 episodes.

  1. Joe Sebok and Scott Huff did an interview with PokerNews.com. The initial run is 13 weeks. The only other thing I found interesting was that they're conscious that they have to move away from appealing to people who know a lot about poker (e.g. get the inside jokes and backstories).

  3. I was completely bored with the show, and deleted my DRV subscription. There was very little poker news (they didn't even mention Isildur1, the biggest recent story to me). Saying that WSOP Main Event final table ratings were only down by 1/10 of a percent was a major error. It was lightweight stuff, and seemed to be targeted to an audience of people with a lot of time on their hands, which isn't me.

  4. PokerNews.com opined on whether the show will survive or not. Friedman thinks it will because of chemistry, writing, and a wide variety of content. Gordon thinks it won't because poker news (though I don't agree that it's a poker news show) has too small an audience.

  5. One reason I wasn't likely to like the show too much is that I already follow what's going on in the poker world, so much of this was rehashing to me. Unlike online, I can't move on to the next article if I already know something. But I wouldn't have liked the show anyway.
