LOL, Austin AND Houston on the no show list.
Lawd forbid Texans get to see people playing TEXAS Hold 'Em.
I mean if they were playing Omaha I could understand the blackout due to regional grudges.

Its good because the announcers dont talk much and you can hear the players table chat. Also the lineup of players is outstanding.

The announcers suck really bad when they do talk though.

I just sent mine in. Hopefully if enough people e-mail them they will cave in and air the show. It probably won't end up happening, but we can always hope.

Salt Lake City isn't airing it. Go figure.

NBC-25 (WEYI), which broadcasts for the Mid-Michigan area, isn't airing it. Instead we get an episode of the celebrity gossip show Extra and two and half straight hours of infomercials.

Which is almost just as good, right?

They can be contacted here: http://www.nbc25online.com/ if you're so inclined.

I disagree. I could only watch a few minutes. I thought the table chat was forced and below the level of even the Heartland Poker Tour table talk...

I'd rather watch HSP.

It took me a couple episodes to realize it wasn't a mistake by my DVR...

...WXIA in Atlanta is cutting the show off halfway through for a rebroadcast of the news.

All of this week's episodes are online at

If you have better than dial-up, it's better than nothing.

Wow, is WXIA dumb! They can't be doing it on purpose. They must think it's a half hour show. You better email or call them and let them know. Congratulations WXIA, you win the award for dumbest affiliate!!! Second place goes to King tv Seattle for running part of episode #1 in middle of episode #2. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
