FSN is expanding poker on Sunday as well and will be going up against Sunday afternoon football as well (with repeats on Tuesday).

On September 27, Fox Sports Net will launch a new 26-week instructional poker series entitled “Fulltiltpoker.net Presents: Learn From The Pros.” After the initial episode, the show will air on Sundays at 4:30pm EST, with repeats on Tuesdays at 8:30pm.

The show’s hosts will be Chris Rose of “The Best Damn Sports Show Period” and highly-regarded poker professional, Howard Lederer. They will discuss a specific poker strategy each show, the first of which will be when to go “all-in.”

George Greenberg, Fox Sports Net’s Executive VP of Programming and Production hopes to possibly make the series into a DVD. He feels poker still has several more years of strong ratings left on television.

"It’s like watching golf, you not only enjoy the competition, but you also can glean something for the next time you play,” he said.

So poker has a few more years left of ratings eh? Sounds like FSN thinks poker will just be a temporary fad and has just "several years" left to watch before the world gets tired of it.

Time will tell. Milk it for all its worth while its popular I guess.
