Can we get times for all the episodes? How about knowing which episode features which players?
 
Hey Mace,

Any idea how much UBT is paying CBS to air The Ultimate Blackjack Tour? Is it a per episode deal or does UBT pay per "season"?
 
I Know Now

I finally figured out how they decided which episodes to show on Season 2. They had a test group and well you can see for yourself:

This is so lame...

The CBS affiliate in Seattle does not broadcast these events.

In order to watch this, I will need to add another CBS channel to my DirecTV bill. I wonder how much that will cost me. (CBSE or CBSW)

Drat!
 
I had the same sort of problem with GSN, it disappeared from my cable lineup right before the WSOB was broadcast. Then I found out it had been moved to a more expensive channel grouping, so I asked a friend who has that package to tape it for me. Problem solved. :cool:
 
Well unfortunately, such is not the case here. Apparently due to FEDERAL law, when local channels are available, it is against the law for them to sell the generic West Coast or East Coast feeds.

Thanks for writing. I checked on your account and I saw that you are one of our long time customers. I want you to know that we appreciate your business. I understand that you would like to get the LA or NY feed for you to be able to watch the UBT Ultimate Blackjack Tour. I'd be happy to assist you on that.

The networks' feeds from East and West are offered and available to customers without local channels broadcasting in their area. I'm sorry to inform you, in as much as we would like to grant your request, we wont be able to give you the East and West coast feeds, even for just a couple of months. Since we carry local channels in Seattle - Tacoma, WA, we cannot provide you with the NY and LA networks. Due to changes in the law, we’re no longer allowed to sell LA/NY TV, CW or PBS distant network TV stations in areas where we carry local channels. Federal law prohibits DIRECTV from providing distant network feeds from New York or Los Angeles in areas where we offer local channels.

We consider you a most valued customer and hope that you can understand our position in this matter. If we are able to accommodate you in any way that is within our capacity, we will be most happy to do so. Let me just inform you that we often add programming based on customer requests, and I have forwarded your request to DIRECTV management to make sure that your voice is being heard.

In addition, whenever we add channels to our lineup, we release a statement to the press, so keep an eye on the news to find out about the newest channels or visit our web site at directv.com/pr

Thanks again for writing, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Call for BJT-ers help!

That sux!

OK, everyone, Jeff needs help. My TV recording capability is already maxed out for myself/Deb, and also for BJMace. Can anybody offer to record the UBT shows and send to Jeff? Of course, unless he can find the show rebroadcast at another time, as Ken suggests.

UBT on CBS

Here's a question...

Don't the networks normally pay for content?
If so, why would UBT pay CBS instead of the other way around, unless CBS viewed the UBT show as having a negative value, like an infomercial?

Check the late night schedule. In my area, when the local affiliate preempted the shows for college football, they showed the UBT show late at night.

Nope, I can see three weeks in advance. It's on the Los Angeles and New York feeds, but not available at all in Seattle.
