Canadian Poker Tour Announces New Television Deal for Upcoming Season
April 28 2011 - 8:00AM
HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (Pink Sheets:HDUP)
operators of the Canadian Poker Tour, Canadian Poker Player
Magazine and the Canadian Poker Player Television Network are
pleased to announce that they will be producing television
programming from a number of their major events across the country
for the new season beginning later this year.
A new production plan and format has been adopted by the company
to air a series of 30 minute event profile documentaries. A
major gap in programming has developed over the past 3 weeks as
indictments of the major online poker companies producing poker
programming from the US and distributing it in the Canadian and
International markets has been cancelled. The Canadian Poker
Tour has recruited a new management team dedicated to increasing
event exposure, developing new marketing channels and pursuing
sponsorship revenues that will meet the shifting demand of the new
poker marketplace.
Application has been made to the government regulators in
Alberta and other jurisdictions to approve the new television
concept that will bring world wide exposure to CPT major events
which are key revenues centers for the company. These
proprietary events are being expanded in other provinces and the
upcoming season is set to air 6 productions which aim to attract
players from around the world.
The production of additional content also supports the company's
plan to launch a closed circuit poker television network in poker
rooms and casinos throughout its affiliated casino base as well as
applying to the CRTC for a digital specialty cable license to
launch its own mainstream cable network.
