Poker returns to CBS in the form of the Creator Poker Championship, which makes its broadcast premiere on Friday. And while the Creator Poker brand may be new, it’s partnering with the World Poker Tour.
Featuring streamers King Bach, Wengie, Daphnique Springs, Evelyn Gonzalez, Billy Love, and Soy Nguyen, the show is airing in two parts Friday, May 15, starting at 9 p.m. EST.
The show first hit the internet-waves in December.
Here’s what the production company said about the piece of poker entertainment in a press release:
“The high-stakes format blends gaming, sports, and entertainment into a broadcast-ready property built for episodic storytelling, repeat viewership, and cross-platform distribution.
‘This is a defining moment for Creator TV Sports,’ said Joe Ochoa, Co-Founder and General Manager of Creator TV. ‘We’re seeing a format that was built for streaming environments extend into national sports television, further validating the Creator TV model.’
The Creator Poker Championship sits at the intersection of the creator economy, competitive gaming, and sports entertainment, where creator-led formats are emerging as franchise properties with built-in distribution and revenue potential.”
