Hint: initials H.L. Either HSP and/or WPT return to U.S. television with new episodes as a F---T---Poker.net bankrolled time buy, or they don't. Didn't your profs at J-school tell you to "follow the money"? DanM:

There are just too many shows chasing too few ad dollars. We are going through a much-needed market correction. Granted, many of us will be ushered out of this industry and we will have to find something else to do because of this market correction.

I didn't know that about PaD's filming, but it totally jibes with other stuff I have heard. And duly noted on the time buys ... Obviously they work for Full Tilt, or they wouldn't keep going back to them. I'm suspect they currently see PaD as a success with the numbers where they are. Cool.

Like regular shows, time buys don't come back if the ratings/demographics aren't good enough to justify the money spent.
