BDO World Championship Darts Final

Scott Mitchell v Martin Adams- sets 1-3 Vassos Alexander and Jim Proudfoot, 4-6 Tony Green and Jim Proudfoot. Vassos and Tony will probably commentate from set 7 onwards
Ok it will be Vassos and George Riley instead. I think Green said goodnight so I think he is only doing three sets tonight

The BBC is using world feed commentary so it was Martin.

That's what happens when I post commentary details for matches I don't normally do so for.

The commentary team is supplied by MSGtv (which is the Knicks broadcaster). The normal commentators for MSG are Mike Breen and Walt Frazier although Kenny Albert (whom the main commentator sounds like) does some Knicks matches.

Who's showing it in the US? Surely they will have their own comms and graphics and not use the BT/club ones?

MSGtv is the local New York station, they have got their own graphics on their feed going out in the US,

NBA TV are showing the game across the US, I presume they're taking the MSGtv comms if BT are

This may be one of the few times I've thought 'Yeah, he/she sounds like what I imagined him to look', as I've just seen in my queue an interview David Goldstrom did with the FIS organisation.

That's a fairly understated suit for Walt , he's a wonderful co commentator
