FWIW the only reason the programs mentioned above are disappearing is because there's no reason for them to exist any more - at least not from the point of view of a Full Tilt or Poker Stars.
 
Whether or not people realised it these shows were nothing more than advertising for the sites.  In some cases the sites even had to buy the air time that they were shown in as well as paying for their production.  Think of them as a more entertaining version of the Shamwow guy.  The were infomercials.
 
Now that the sites don't have any customers left in the USA there's no point advertising to them any more.  Spending any more money on them would be a waste.
 
And that's before we even get into networks getting squirmish about accepting money from companies that have been charged with money laundering and bank fraud...
 
I expect poker shows that don't suffer from this problem (WSOP, WPT, etc) will continue as per normal, although the absence of Stars and Tilt sponsorship dollars may hurt some of them too.
