Poker After Dark

#1 4th October 2011, 8:44 PM

Does anyone know if Poker After Dark has been canceled? I know it was strongly connected with Full Tilt, and now the re-runs have been replaced even though the schedule shows POD.

Not sure, is it anything like this?

Dark Town After Dark, Loose Shoes - YouTube

Although it's got nothing to do with poker but what a catchy tune!

I got this from the internet- ''It appears that NBC has cancelled Poker After Dark after the latest Black Friday accusations that focused more on Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer accusing FTP of being a "Ponzi Scheme". NBC abruptly stopped airing Poker After Dark on 23 September 2011. In New York it stopped airing mid-week on 20 September 2011.''

It wasn't just "strongly connected" with Full Tilt - Full Tilt paid for its production, and IIRC they might have even been paying for the airtime.

Think of it less as a show in its own right, and more like a Full Tilt infomercial, and you'll get the idea.

DVR'ing Poker After Dark is what made me really interested in playing. I don't really like the WPT because you only see the final table, where it is usually a coin flip. Is there a streaming site that has all pokerstars playing cash games?

Yeah I will miss watching it. Too bad they (FTP) had to be so greedy to steal and be so deceptive, when they had such a good think going.

FWIW, you really can lay a lot of the blame for these shows disappearing on the US government: without US players to advertise to (remember, these "shows" were really more like infomercials) there was limited value in the sites continuing to pay for them, and most of them would probably have been cut even if the Full Tilt fraud situation didn't happen.

NBC pulled it off the air shortly after the DOJ proclaimed FTP was a ponzi scheme. Last I checked they were airing a show called Wine Country or something in that timeslot.

Here where I live (western Canada) they just stopped airing the re-runs last week.. sigh
