The Poker Channel, Europe’s largest dedicated gaming TV network, has teamed up with Dennis Publishing, publishers of PokerPlayer, InsidePoker Business and Stacked to produce a 30 minute magazine television programme called The PokerPlayer Show. Created to reflect the content of PokerPlayer magazine, the show will be hosted each month by Poker Channel presenter Anna Fowler alongside an elite poker personality. Episode 1 features Neil Channing in the studio answerinjg questions on strategy and talking about the UK poker scene. The opening show also features interviews with October issue cover star Norwegian pro Annette Obrestad and recent WPT London winner and UK pro Jake Cody.
Angus Gairdner, Executive Producer of The PokerPlayer Show said, “With the eyes of the poker world firmly fixed on London this Autumn, what better way to kick off this exciting new series than by taking our cameras along to such prestigious events as the first ever WPT London, English Poker Open and the now well established WSOP Europe. We’re delighted to have teamed up with PokerPlayer to bring this unique new programme to the poker fans”
Matthew Balch, Associate Publisher for the magazine commented, “PokerPlayer attracts many of the world’s biggest names to its cover each issue and we thought the idea of a magazine show for TV could help us bring to life our content. Moving forward, we would like all of our feature interviews to be conducted using video so that we can bring readers closer to their heroes. Working with The Poker Channel with its extensive reach and experience in poker programming around the globe makes sense, as we already market PokerPlayer across Europe and to Australasia via the news stand and subscription. We are continually looking at ways to build the brand and hopefully a venture like this can achieve that both in the UK and overseas”.
