Wayne, Ratings have declined and the WPT wanted the same money. GSN would pay the toll, so they got the show. I think The Professional Poker Tour is gone for good, though I haven't seen any announcements.

Feelings ran bad between Travel and WPT. The WPT tried to pedal the Pro. Poker Tour to somebody else and Travel sued.

I think The WPT is still the highest rated show on Travel.

Also, Travel just got the rights to broadcast reruns of some ridiculous show called "Lost," which they think will boost their ratings. Lost does have high ratings, so it might work.
