ESPN to produce World Series of Poker, Cold Pizza & Mike and Mike in HD

by Matt Burns posted Apr 19th 2007 at 11:37PM


Why has ESPN taken so long producing the World Series of Poker in high-def? Don't get us wrong, we are glad that the show is finally switching to HD but we just wish they would have done it sooner. It's not like ESPN can even call WSOP the first HD Poker series as INHD Mojo has been airing the Vegas Open for close to a year now. The show starts back up in July and will feature 32 hours of HD. Additionally, two more ESPN shows are making the jump to HD: Cold Pizza & Mike and Mike. These three shows should jump ESPN's yearly HD output to nearly 9,000 hours according to TV Week's calculations. Back to the WSOP, here's hoping the poker table's hole-cams will get an HD upgrade to those tiny high-def cams.

High-def poker tournament on INHD

by Matt Burns posted Jun 19th 2006 at 11:02AM

INHD is going to broadcast the Vegas Open starting on July 2 at 10:30 pm est. This poker event will be filmed in the Ceasars Palace's "open and luxurious" 14,500 square foot poker room which will provide plenty of HD goodies to look at. This isn't a major poker tour event with the buy-in at only $1,060 but it should still be a good time to watch. Who among us hasn't wished for the World Poker Tour to be broadcast in HD? We all have and while this event might not have the star power of the WPT, it will beat it hands down on picture quality.
