The Poker Channel has announced new distribution agreements in Germany, Portugal, Poland, Cyprus and Croatia today, and its first ever live horse-racing coverage.
The channel is now available on cable TV in Cyprus (Cablenet) and Croatia (Bnet) for the first time and will expand on new platforms in Germany (Kabelkiosk), Poland (UPC), and Portugal (Clix). Following these agreements, the channel will reach approximately 17 million cable and satellite homes in 20 European markets.
It has also very recently announced its first ever live horse-racing coverage, which airs for one hour every evening from a selection of leading US racetracks including Philadelphia Park, Hawthorne and Tampa Bay. Racing coverage is broadcast live on the Channel in all markets except the UK and Ireland.
In response to viewer demand, Poker Channel broadcasts live coverage with studio commentary, betting tips and form guides from professionals, jockeys and trainers, with additional information on how to bet on the website.
Chris White, managing director of The Poker Channel said: "After poker, sports betting often tops the list of what our viewers want, so we’re pleased to be able to offer live racing coverage at their request."
