The Poker Channel is the world’s first
television channel
dedicated purely to the game of
poker (launched initially
in the
UK on 23rd March 2005).
The Poker Channel provides coverage of both
pre-recorded and live action of major poker
tournaments (such as European Poker Masters,
Million Dollar Cash Game etc) from across
the globe as well as coverage of major
online tournaments where
online poker players
compete against each other in front of a TV
audience of millions. The Poker Channel also
commissions series that explore the grass
roots of poker and gets under the skin of
both the game and its players by showing the
viewers the various angles of the game, both
from a human perspective and from observing
and learning the skills of the game.
The Poker Channel broadcast to over 15
million homes in 15 European markets via
major cable/ satellite affiliates (i.e. Sky
UK, Kabel Deutschland, Canal Digital,
Numericable, Free) on one pan-European,
English feed. Our most recent launch was on
April 1st, when the channel beamed into the
Netherlands (in UPC’s digital basic tier) –
further launches are scheduled for Poland,
Romania and Italy later this year.
