In Response to Re: Sky Poker UKPC Six Max: The £500,000 GTD Main Event : Sky Sports would NOT take the Series if it were Live-Streamed, there would be no point. Sky Poker want the Series to be shown on Sky Sports, Challenge TV, Ch 861 & You Tube. There'd be no point in doing any of those if it were Live-Streamed. There is nil benefit to the Business in the Live Stream, & a massive benefit to the Business from it airing on Sky Sports etc. If it were not on Sky Sports, I doubt Sky Poker would have sponsored the Event.

Just to be devil's advocate for second. A few hundred people watching a live stream would have no material impact on the viewing figures weeks later, and watching a stream is a lot different from watching a produced TV show. I watch a lot of live streams by another major poker site, and I also watch all of their TV shows, and apart from the results they are nothing alike.

Hi Gertrude,
Good to see you here Big Man. Ate you still very very tall?
Yes, I understand that, but it aint ever gonna happen with UKPC.
Given the camera set up here, it would not be possible to both Stream & Record for TV.
Sky Sports simply would not take the Series if it had been Live-streamed, whether we like it or not.
Sky Poker agreed the deal with DTD on the explicit understanding that it would be shown on Sky Sports, & not Live-Streamed. All parties were in agreement.
I know it will disappoint some, but thats just how it is. The whole thing, to a degree, centres upon a TV Series.

In Response to Re: Sky Poker UKPC Six Max: The £500,000 GTD Main Event : I would think you're very right! Posted by DesDuffy
Ha! Lord Duffy, no less.
For once, yes, I am right. Not an opinion, a fact. Just this once, like......;)
For those not aware, Lord Duffy, Sir Tighty & myself worked with Leigh for many years in APAT.
Leigh is a genuinely lovely bloke, & if he won this, few would begrudge him the win, after all he has done for grass roots poker over many years. He must have given up - literally - a hundred weekends to do his APAT stuff (now retired, I believe), and this would be some sort of well-deserved payback.

I second every word of that Tony. Leigh is one of the very best, and this success on the back of his deep run in the ISPT last year, suggests that administration isn't the only quality he has to offer the game.
Great news that the festival has been a massive success. Well deserved for Sky Poker and DTD.
