meaning no other broadcaster was interested so back to BBC for less money.
yes the tail wagging the dog here - it was even the case that it might not have even been on the BBC during the weekdays too; It may even be the case that the BDO are letting the BBC show it for free.
still it is all in one place, which is good & its on a FTA station, which is good

Not much of a ringing endorsement for the Championship that even BT - who are scrabbling for everything at the moment - didn't want it...
Well I for one am delighted the Lakeside is exclusively on the BBC this year. Like it always used to be and means I get to see every game, and this surely applies to many others too. The BBC has covered every BDO World Championship and I see no reason for that to stop.
The semis and finals of the Zuiderduin Masters coverage on Eurosport was a bonus too:)
The final got around 2.3 million viewers on the bbc last year which is excellent BT are not scrabbling around for everything at the moment
No it isnt - it is the lowest recorded figure ever for a Lakeside final.
Although to be fair it was probably the worst Lakeside final for many a year so that may have got people turning off in droves (given 2.3m was the figure who watched the entire broadcast).
