Poker After Dark Returning March 5

“Poker After Dark” is set to return March 5 with 24 previously unaired episodes.   

Four weeks of episodes that were taped primarily in December 2010 will be shown on the new NBC Sports Network (currently Versus). 

“Poker After Dark” was previously sponsored by the now defunct Full Tilt Poker. 

The shows were produced by Poker PROductions, which sent out the following tweet on Monday: 

Poker_Prod POKER PROductions “RT @Kevmath: Good news for poker TV fans: Poker After Dark returns, airing on the NBC Sports Network. More to come soon.”

Rumors immediately began circulating that new production will begin again.  There is speculation that a US-based casino or other gambling operation might elect to sponsor the program now that legalized Internet poker appears to be on the horizon. 

Mori Eskandani of Poker PROductions was scheduled to speak with PokerNews.com on Tuesday so stay tuned.
