About THR
Since its inception in early 2005, TexasHoldemRadio (THR)—alongside HoldemRadio—has been a pioneer in poker broadcasting. Founded by the visionary Wade Andrews, our journey began with radio shows on KJCE in Austin, Texas, before making history in March 2005 as the first network to bring poker programming to the online airwaves.
From those early days, we quickly became more than just a broadcast. Our interactive chat rooms gave players a place to share strategy, swap stories, and build community. Later that same year, we set another industry milestone by hosting the world’s first online poker tournament broadcast.
In 2006, we moved our broadcast home to Las Vegas—the heart of poker—and by 2007, we were live from the iconic Binion’s Poker Room in Downtown Las Vegas, delivering two and a half years of unforgettable coverage.
Although HoldemRadio was sold in 2011, THR never missed a beat. We continued to evolve, innovate, and remain the trusted voice of online poker.
