LAKE MARY, Fla., April 24 /PRNewswire/ — Show Partners (R) a worldwide leader and provider of broadcast television production, crewing, and design services announced its return to Las Vegas for the fourth straight season of production and show operations for NBC’s “Poker After Dark.”
A six-night per week staple for poker enthusiasts, NBC’s poker After Dark enters a new season hosted by Leeann Tweeden, a co-host of the 2006 Mansion poker Dome Challenge which aired on FSN, and the 2008 NBC National Heads-Up poker Championship, each of which are also Show Partners productions.
EVP of Show Partners Larry Rogers states, “We are grateful for the opportunity to work with both NBC and poker Productions for our fourth straight season of providing turn key operations, crewing, scenic and lighting design services for one of the finest poker productions on television.”
Coinciding with the shoot and production of NBC’s poker After Dark, Las Vegas also played host to the 2008 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), in which the industry venue served as a backdrop for select VIP’s and members of the media to travel across the city and learn more about the inner-workings of poker production.
Among those to visit the set were members of the San Diego-based Wounded Marine Careers Foundation, (), a non-profit organization that allows wounded veterans an opportunity to pursue careers in the media and entertainment industry.
Show Partners CEO and Founder, Michael S. Mantovani added, “While NAB is generally about seeing the latest products and technologies first hand, it’s also an ideal opportunity to meet and develop relationships with entities such as the Wounded Marine Careers Foundation. We were especially honored to provide members of the foundation with their first behind-the-scenes look at the intricacies associated with the operations and engineering of a network level remote television production.”
