This question has probably been kicked to death on here, but I used to be able to find the women's tournaments, or at least some old classic pool, but I can't find anything anymore. You can find hour after hour of poker, but I can't even find anything using the search function on Comcast for pool. Just curious, somebody make somebody mad or something?
What happened to pool on TV?

Yep, you're right, it's :deadhorse:
Look up some history of the PBT the Camel Tour, that's about when things wend bad for pool on TV.
Aside from the better exposure for pro players and maybe some awareness of the sport as a skilled thing, you can find more pool than you can watch in your lifetime on the internet, even live with top players.

I think it is more the availability of a quality product. It cost money to put a tournament on tape. Other then average to bad quality productions like you see on the net, there isn't much pool out there on tape to even peddle to TV.
