Fox Sports Net Adding More Poker Programming

On September 27, Fox Sports Net will launch a new 26-week instructional poker series entitled “Fulltiltpoker.net Presents: Learn From The Pros.” After the initial episode, the show will air on Sundays at 4:30pm EST, with repeats on Tuesdays at 8:30pm.

The show’s hosts will be Chris Rose of “The Best Damn Sports Show Period” and highly-regarded poker professional, Howard Lederer. They will discuss a specific poker strategy each show, the first of which will be when to go “all-in.”

George Greenberg, Fox Sports Net’s Executive VP of Programming and Production hopes to possibly make the series into a DVD. He feels poker still has several more years of strong ratings left on television.

"It’s like watching golf, you not only enjoy the competition, but you also can glean something for the next time you play,” he said.
