It's been almost a year since my first Pokerbeat entry and over a year since we all started talking about it, and it looks like we're finally going to get an actual shot to make a television show.
Today I received the first installment of our funding to produce 4 episodes of Pokerbeat that will air on America One Sports and Fox Sports Net New England in (hopefully) October 2005.
We have our first pre-production meeting tomorrow.
In the immortal words of my partner, Annie......
Well then, you better get to work... Congratulations and good luck!

Talked to Chewy yesterday and he told me the good news, and he told me to check out your website. Nice work. I'm going to the Bernard Hopkins - Jermain Taylor fight at the MGM Grand tomorrow. It will be my first boxing match attended. Looking forward to it, should be exciting. Just thought I'd drop you a note, and check out the site. I'll be waiting for some great postings about your experience during production of the show, and how frustratingly fun it will all be. Just don't end up with the same haircut as Chewy halfway through production. Safe travels, and swift success.
