WORLD SERIES OF BACKGAMMON on GAME TV across CANADA from November

Lucky ol' Canada..!

WSOB will air every Wednesday across CANADA from November 3rd at:

11pm ET/ 8pm PT

Reruns:

Saturday 1am ET/ 10pm PT

http://www.igametv.com/

ALSO:

there is a new show from the said series now uploaded on our online channel featuring Francois Tardieu's match against Karsten Bredahl in the WSOB Championship, the season finale. This show actually kicks-off with an extraordinary match where one player basically gets chequer blindness, as a result of the pressure - backgammon players not necessarily being used to lights/ camera and high stakes! They are also playing for €20,000 in Round One of the 160k WSOB Championship.

Nice one! Now if only live poker was as fast paced as live backgammon...

the Wednesday slot has now reverted for December to Tuesdays. Same time. We only spent a month promoting that slot!

Lucky we filmed two variations of Gus' promos, just for this eventuality! Here's one for Tuesday to help you remember

Is everything that's shown on GameTV already up on the WSOB online Vimeo channel?

nope

some of the shows are, not all. there are 15 shows in total being shown on Game TV from '08 at the moment. I suspect they will be re-run on a few occasions in the coming months, as the channel acquired a two year license.

Preview Show from Cannes 30'
UK Masters 4 x 50'
Nordic Opeb 4 x 50'
Review Show from Cannes
Cannes Riviera Cup 1 x 50' (Gus Hansen v Bob Koca in the final)
WSOB Championship - season finals 4 x 50'

the run on Poker Channel Europe is coming to an end but hope they will re-run soon. They were just airing the Preview and the finals from each stop.
