In a ground-breaking development for the sport of pool in Australia, Pockets Sports is set to take centre stage on Fox Sports channels 505 and 507.
The upcoming broadcast of the previous Pro Series event on the 24th and 25th of May marks a pivotal and historic moment for professionalising pool in the country and is a testament to the growing popularity and appeal of the sport.
Once confined to smoky pool halls and select enthusiasts, pool is now taking its place among the mainstream sports in Australia.
The exposure to a wider audience will not only captivate fans but also generate fresh interest and attract players to the sport.
Enhanced exposure will attract sponsorships, encourage investment, and provide a platform for emerging talent to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves.
“I believe if you are good at something, you should be rewarded for it.”
Arthur Titus – Director, Pockets Sports
Throughout history, many sports have experienced game-changing breakthroughs when they first hit the airwaves.
The introduction of televised darts tournaments transformed it from a pub game to a fiercely competitive sport with a dedicated following, with the World Darts Championship now one of the most-watched sporting events on British television.
Similarly, the broadcasting of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) revolutionized the game, turning previously unknown players into household names and attracting massive audiences worldwide.
Pool, with its inherent excitement, strategic intricacies, and nail-biting finishes, is poised to experience a similar surge in popularity through its televised exposure.
Since the iconic 60’s British television show “Pot Black,” the upcoming broadcast on Fox Sports heralds the long-awaited revival of pool on national screens.
Enthusiasts and casual viewers alike will finally have the opportunity to witness the skill, flair and drama that define this must-watch sport.
The future of pool in Australia is brighter than ever as it takes its rightful place alongside other mainstream sports, capturing the hearts and minds of fans across the country.
