GSN has issued a press release to pimp their Father\’s Day programming. There will be an eight-hour marathon consisting of three two-hour World Poker Tour episodes and ending with the world premiere of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
Isn\’t this the network that has declined to renew High Stakes Poker and the World Poker Tour? Hypocrital is the word that immediately comes to mind. Watch our great poker shows on Father\’s Day, and watch the current season of the WPT on our network, but when it\’s over, good luck with that poker fad.
I guess GSN has to get the viewers before all of us downgrade our cable packages after the WPT season is over. I know I\’ll save about $20 a month by getting rid of that tier of channels, and though I do love me some nostalgic episodes of Match Game, I\’ll gladly say goodbye to GSN for their refusal to consider their loyal poker viewers or give an honest answer about why they\’re dropping poker from their line-up.
