No way, while every show has its faults, I think more programming is better for the game, not less.

The WPT is great because fish like me aspire to make the "big time" without ever really having a chance. I think the pros would all agree they love people like myself entering into their arena making their game deeper with dead money.

The game needs fish and I think these shows bring them in.

What we need desperately is for online poker to be legalized so the advertising and sponsorship money can support these shows.

Nascar is on tv because of the wide array of sponsorship money available. Golf, NFL, NBA, etc all have these revenue streams to support their games.

Poker is severely crippled because one of it's largest revenue streams cannot buy ad time and therefore support additional and possibly better poker programming.

Additional programming as a result of more advertising revenue trickles down to everyone who plays online because more people will play who will be fish that feed the poker economy.

The UIGA has crushed (and continues to crush) American online poker and that is pretty evident to everyone who is still playing online.

You don't have to watch the shows you don't like. I can't see how you could have a problem with them airing more poker TV if it resulted in more profitable games.
