CBS Jumps on Poker Bandwagon
Zap2it - TV news - CBS Jumps on Poker Bandwagon: "LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) CBS is betting that interest in televised poker isn't on the wane, teaming up with a promoter to televise poker tournaments in which amateur players get a chance to match wits with pros.
The network has signed a deal with ProJo Poker Enterprises to televise eight ProJo tournaments and four specials. First up will be the 'ProJo Christmas Poker Classic,' airing in the afternoon on Dec. 25.
With the deal, CBS is making the biggest push yet by a broadcast network into the world of televised poker. Although NBC has aired a couple of specials in the past, poker has been largely a cable phenomenon, providing ratings boosts for networks ranging from ESPN ('World Series of Poker') to Bravo ('Celebrity Poker Showdown') to the Travel Channel ('World Poker Tour')."

It's great at how quickly poker has gotten so huge. How many “Poker for Dummies” books will be broken in during that tournament? I actually found a really cool article about the poker explosion:
