World Poker Tour and Travel Channel Re-up for a Fourth Season

Press Release

April 5, 2005

Early Renewal Demonstrates the Travel Channel's Commitment to WPT

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seizing to continue to capitalize on the poker craze it helped to launch, The Travel Channel exercised its option early and announced today that the Travel Channel will broadcast the fourth season of the World Poker Tour(WPT) which airs on Wednesday nights at 9pm ET/PT.

The World Poker Tour is the league that launched on March 30, 2003, and it has fast become the highest rated show ever on The Travel Channel. The tour is now seen in over 60 countries worldwide, and its tournaments are held at first class locales and resorts as far ranging as Paris, the Bahamas and Las Vegas.

When the World Poker Tour rolls into town, players are accorded a hero's welcome and poker fans plan their schedules around the Final Table taping.

"We are thrilled to extend our relationship with The Travel Channel," said Executive Producer and Founder of the WPT, Steven Lipscomb. "Their commitment further reinforces the WPT as the preeminent brand of poker."

"The World Poker Tour has demonstrated its ability to resonate with viewers, and we remain confident that the audience will grow over the fourth season," said Vice President of Programming at Travel Channel, Dan Russell.

The World Poker Tour series airs every Wednesday night on the Travel Channel from 9-11 PM (ET/PT). The Third Season began airing on March 2, 2005. For more information on WPT go to www.worldpokertour.com

The World Poker Tour series blends the compelling drama of reality television with the production of sports programming, including expert commentary. Thirteen cameras capture the action, including tiny cameras that reveal the player's hole cards, which let viewers see who is bluffing and who is not. At stake on a single poker hand can be as much as a million dollars.
