How are they going to run 23 episodes in a season?

GSN has a ton of time to fill, particularly on MONDAY nights, when GSN has to compete against WWE on USA Network and NFL on ESPN.

GSN is a good fit for WPT Season 6: WPT still gets a US TV rights fee (though down 40% from the Travel Channel deal), and GSN gets a new flagship TV program which GSN can use to drive its subscription base beyond 60 million households.

This might be good for everything. I never understood why it took GSN so long to get on the poker show bandwagon. I remember the crappy ones they had. Poker Royale those made for TV crap shows. I always thought that GSN should get the WPT or the WSOP. Just make them a better network.

Yeah, but I'm getting the Poker Royale soundtrack. Brilliant composition!
