Wouldn't evening sessions on 4 be the bigger ratings winner?
It's like last couple of years. Afternoons on BBC and evenings on BT Sport. BT will have paid more money so they probably get the pick of sessions.

Channel 4 aren't going to clear their evening schedule for a minority sport. When they showed NFL they shifted it to More4 mid match at 8pm and that was on a Sunday when they had no hour long news at 7.

This split probably suits both parties, remember Channel 4 have got weeks of midweek afternoon s to fill from 2017 onwards as they have lost horse racing. BT Sport need content in evenings to keep subscribers happy. I doubt BT have paid more, will be a 50/50 split IMO.

I hate it when the game shot dart goes in and the camera pans away to the crowd, I want to see the handshake and reactions, it annoys me.

Is anyone watching the World Series? Cadby knocks out Taylor he looks good this lad.

That happens in tennis all the time. Drives me bonkers. Didn't watch a match for a few hours to see how the crowd reacts.

I wish him well. I enjoy watching him and he's one of the great BDO darts players. Best wishes and I hope he gets better soon.

Meanwhile, whilst a good crowd watched the action live in Germany last night, the "oldest darts major in the world" currently has no confirmed TV coverage and has sold a grand total of 109 tickets across the three sessions in the space of two and a half weeks.....

No it was in Belgium.

I so love posters who don't check their facts out properly.

Im hoping its a typo. No chance on earth they will be done in 8 hours. And it makes betting even less of a minefield, usually good money to be made in this first round but extending it helps nobody but the seeds.

Hopefully still a typo. Given it took 8.5 hours last year to polish off the Friday last year when it was BO5, they are still going to be there 10-11 hours later finishing off today. Ridiculous session lengths, split them into two!
