Canadian Poker TV Goes Online with MoboVivo and HeadsUp Entertainment

Wed, Jun 18th, 2008 @ 12:00am

Canadian poker fans will soon be able to catch up to the game and watch full programs streaming over the Internet or Buy & Sync the programs so they can watch anytime, anywhere they like even without an Internet connection, thanks to a collaboration just announced by iPhone entertainment heavyweight MoboVivo and HeadsUp Entertainment.

All 13 episodes of Canadian Championship Poker season will be available from the MoboVivo website.

Episodes of Canadian Poker Tour will also be made available following HeadsUp Entertainment's acquisition of the Canadian Poker Tour and its TV shows last week. These announcements will make HeadsUp the top producer of poker television programming in Canada and MoboVivo the top provider of poker TV shows online.

Poker in Canada is hot and tournaments like the Canadian Championship Poker and the Canadian Poker Tour features great players like Brad Booth, Huck Seed and stars like Jennifer Tilly, said Kelly Kellner, CEO of HeadsUp Entertainment. Now their fans can watch them anytime and anywhere thanks to MoboVivo's online video platform.

MoboVivo customers have been asking for programming like this, said Trevor Doerksen, CEO of MoboVivo. They want to take it with them, watch it online and catch up to TV shows they missed or watch without commercials.

MoboVivo is the first company to offer paid downloads of TV shows in Canada. It is also one of the first companies in the world to offer services to iPhone users. The new buy & sync program bridges the gap between a portable device like an iPhone or iPod and the user's computer.
