WSOP 2005 on TV here???

Ste05

Does anyone know when and who is going to be showing this years WSOP on TV, I know it's on ESPN in America soon, but I can't seem to find out anywhere when and whether it's The Poker Channel, Pokerzone or Challenge, etc. that will be showing it, anyone know?????

I don't know when it's going to be broadcast, but I would suspect that it will be on Challenge in the autumn, as they have bought the rights for the last two years.
If I recall correctly, they first aired the 2004 WSOP in October or November last. About six events were broadcast:
7 stud, razz, omaha, limit hold 'em, pot limit hold 'em and the main event.
A one hour episode was dedicated to each event, except for the main event which was spread over five or six episodes (one episode per day, two episodes for the final table).

Yeah, it was early October they broadcast it last year

In America myself at moment,espn jus started showing the wsop circuit events and there only on once a week so it will be a while before they get to the main event so we will be waiting a long time in ireland to get some wsop coverage me thinks

I'm also in the states for the summer, and like you said, its only the circuits. The actual event isn't being aired until october, probably because they have to sift through 9 whole days of footage and make a watchable show out of it.
