World Poker Tour to be Shown in India.

WPT Founder Steve Lipscomb Expands Global Presence.

Just a few weeks after the World Poker Tour signed on with Fox Sports to continue broadcasting their popular television program, the WPT has inked yet another solid deal to further expand their global presence in the poker market.

Hindi-based Zee Sports, which controls the television rights for many of the top sports teams in the country, partnered up with WPT founder Steve Lipscomb to showcase the World Poker Tour throughout India. This move puts the tv show in front of millions of potential viewers - and in a country that houses over 1 billion people, it could be a profitable decision for both sides in the deal.

Poker enthusiasts will be able to watch nineteen 1-hour episodes of the WPT starting later this year.

And to think, this show ALMOST went away for good when the Game Show Network was about to let them go just a few months ago!
