Not true. I downloaded and watched the 2001 WSOP. At that point it was shown on Discovery and the coverage consisted of an hour long episode recapping the main event. There was basically no "live" style coverage of the event. It's narrated rather than announced like a sporting event. On top of that, in any hand that isn't shown down, the viewer has no idea what the player had unless he shows or tells later.
It is completely different than the coverage that got popular in the 2003 WSOP and WPT.
