Fox Cancels Poker Shows

A number of poker TV shows have been dropped from Fox programming according to a recent announcement. When the US government took action against a number of online poker rooms Fox and other networks moved to cancel poker shows. Following ESPN's example when they canceled their NAPT shows, Fox announced that they were pulling the Million Dollar Challenge and the PokerStars Big Game from their programing schedule. The only poker show that either network is likey to continue with is the World Series of Poker, but ESPN mentioned they would be pulling all advertising and signage that refers to online poker.
