Both the 9:30pm and 10:30pm prime-time airings of the IPT event on the special edition of FSN's "Best Damn Sports Show Period" bolstered ratings by over 25% in the timeslots, which surpassed expectations from both Fox Sports Net and the International Pool Tour."We are thrilled with the ratings success of our first major pool event on prime-time tv in America," said IPT Founder Kevin Trudeau. "It shows that there's a huge and growing audience for pool if it is presented in an exciting, world-class way. The good news for the IPT- and for pool in general- is that we've only just begun. Our next series of tv shows, from our 'King of the Hill' event, will be even more spectacular."
