Default Re: Live At The Bike - IS DEAD

They used to have this thing that they would run during television programs, to make broadcasting possible. They were called commercials. Since online sites are a bit shy with cable broadcasts, sans FTP, you would think that this would be a no-brainer. No subscriptions necessary. All the US sites could be free to even say .com. Nobody listens to me. I mean, really, I thought LATB was a great, great concept. We all did. Pokerchannel at pokerzone are just ok in my mind compared to this. As a fan of poker on TV, as most of us agreed this was better than most. In my mind, I still feel like internet televised poker is more likely going to be on the rise since it is more a market-topic-specific, as the pokerstars broadcast was very nice even without hole cams.
Bart was critical to the program, no doubt, but as long as the commentators are industry-recspected, I think that the poker-viewing public is inclined to accept them, despite the fact, that most posters seem to hate every poker show and every announcer there is.
It would be interesting to see how many subscribers there really were, but if that was supposed to be the income for the show, then there is no was it could support all the staff needed to run it without commercial support. Funny how pokernetcast was the new name of the hub, and that was near the end.
