World Poker Tour Distributions has entered into a partnership with GameTV exposing the elite tour to the homes of nine million Canadians, and Dong Lee wins the WPT500 at The Gardens Casino, Los Angeles.

Speaking to the World Poker Tour’s (WPT) Vice President of Distribution, Johnny McMahon, in May, he told me that one of the goals for 2017 was to offer distribution in more territories and he wasn’t kidding.

WPT Distributions has announced a deal with Anthem Sports & Entertainment’s GameTV that will see the Canadian-based digital media company broadcast content to 9 million homes throughout Canada. McMahon referred to GameTV as the perfect pairing as his department continues to aggressively expand their international content offering.

GameTV began life in 2001 as the Stuart Media Group owned Gaming Channel. In 2016, Anthem Sports & Entertainment acquired them and immediately injected a more sporty vibe into the coverage.
