After the first WPT broadcast, Party's numbers exploded .... same for UB when its turn came.
I was talking with my then-partners about getting our brand onto the Travel Channel, was told that a a season 1 exclusive sponsorship had been available pre-season for the entire season for $100,000.
Without telling me, my majority partners, who had bankrolled the our lainch launch, and could have written a check on the spot when pitched by the WPT, instead had turned the WPT down. We were able to buy spots on local stations in certain markets, each of which yielded a tremendous ROI for the money.
