I think number 2: is either TLC or the Travel channel.
I remember watching one of the wsop way before WPT which was the first regularly aired one on the Travel Channel, or ESPN grabbed the rights to the WSOP. I think the first one I watched was when Carlos Mortenson won(not sure if I am correct on this one, could have been wa before my time)
