Yes, TV proved how powerful it is, when it came to promoting NL hold em to society.  If you remember back to the year when moneymaker was on TV...the poker biz promoted poker in a genius way, by not only making people think they could be the next millionaire, but by also making poker players look " cool'  ...for example...the tv was promoting those 4 or 5 young players they called the " rat pack" .....which ironically you dont hear about any of those players today { they probably went broke}  .

The TV, also introduced us to many pro players, by giving them cool names..like THE PROFESSOR , KID POKER...THE BRAT...ETC...

this is all part of marketing gimmicks, and social fads...all to get people in society to spend their money .  the one group that owns and control much of tv/meida, magazines, etc...are masters at programming the public .

I used to play poker with the guy that invented that table cameras that allowed viewers to see players down cards. We played at the TAJ in atlantic city....He was also the inventor of some other stuff and has several patents .
