BCn has an inventory of twelve 30-second commercial spots for sale during each o­ne-hour broadcast. Advertisers can choose from several packages including a limited number of Full Series Sponsorships which will give the client 156 national commercial airs in the 13-week schedule. Simonis Cloth is the first sponsor to secure a position in the series with other advertisers in negotiation.

Empire Sports Network will air the program o­n Saturday evenings at 7:00 PM with two scheduled repeats, while Sunshine Network schedules BCtv for Thursday’s at 10:00 PM, also with two repeats. As a result, BCtv will air 78 separate times to a national audience o­n DISH Network, DirecTV and Fox Sports Digital.

"We’re looking forward to our relationship with Billiard Club TV," said Paul Martello, Empire Sports Network Director of Media and Public Relations. "We believe this agreement will continue to help this rapidly growing sport become even more recognizable and offers us a strong complement to our regular programming."

The deal reflects the evolving structure of BCn to become the official TV network for the sport of pool. And for the first time ever, billiard programming will air o­n a regularly scheduled day and time slot during a 13-week televised series. "We’re committed to establishing a regularly schedule broadcasts of billiard sports programming and this is a big step towards accomplishing that goal," said Rob Sykora, BCn President. "The plan is to continue the series beyond the initial 13 weeks with expanded distribution to other networks and markets. We already have several programming directors considering the opportunity to make o­ne night of the week, Pool Night."

What about the existing Billiard Club network Affiliates? "The club membership program just became a much more dynamic offering for proprietors," commented Sykora. "We're working out the details right now to offer the programming via satellite to each of our affiliates who will then have several broadcast packages to choose from, which will include BCtv. Plus, we gain access to millions of home subscribers who we'll push out of the house and into a network club to play the game."
