Sad to see another staple of the BBC Sport empire crash and burn. I know it's only the darts but still.
There will literally be nothing left before much longer. Just Five Live and a website. The first Champions League of Darts will be broadcast live across the BBC in what is being billed as an "exciting new era" for the sport. The eight-player tournament will be held in Cardiff on 24-25 September. It will feature the leading eight players from the PDC Order of Merit come the end of July's World Matchplay, and the champion will earn £100,000. The decision to broadcast the new event means the BBC will cease to cover the BDO World Championship. PDC chairman Barry Hearn said the "very best players" will be participating in the Champions League of Darts, which he called an "exciting, quick-fire tournament". |

Sunday Sitcom Season. Then it cannot fail to achieve a figure above 5m.

They have dropped that for this
The first Champions League of Darts will be broadcast live across the BBC in what is being billed as an "exciting new era" for the sport. I have no idea why it's turned up on C4 whose sporting strategy looks increasingly incoherent and I don't know what it means for C4's remit. I thought Formula One was a strange thing for them to be buying given it appeals firmly to white middle-class men, a sector of the audience already super-served. Now they're buying darts. How does that possibly fit into any definition of this channel's remit? |

Posts like these can't help but sound like a bit of a hostage to fortune. Why is that the case? We don't know what the sitcoms are like or what the competition will be. Sounds like you're basing that on the default BBC1 audience theory again. But if they're creating an attractive schedule audiences want to watch, what's the problem?
With regards to the sitcom season Young Hyacinth might bet he one to kick it off. There will certainly be some curiosity factor regarding ratings. How will they be scheduled? Quote:
Yes, they may not be showing the BDO darts but they're still showing darts, and it's better darts to boot. It's about quality, not quantity. I think this is a great deal for the BBC. Much, MUCH better darts with PDC. I swear with BDO it felt like they left the door open and anybody could walk in for a game. It's only two days on. BBC2 but it's two days with great darts and great darts' stars.I have no idea why it's turned up on C4 whose sporting strategy looks increasingly incoherent and I don't know what it means for C4's remit. I thought Formula One was a strange thing for them to be buying given it appeals firmly to white middle-class men, a sector of the audience already super-served. Now they're buying darts. How does that possibly fit into any definition of this channel's remit? Channel 4's remit now is ratings at all costs. A few quota things here and there but they want bums on seats too. Always felt the new style Channel 4 started with Michael Grade. |

2 Golds in the Rowing this afternoon should drive a few more viewers Olympics way tonight to see if Bradley Wiggins and the team can pick up another
This weekend could be as successful as it was in 2012 tho the 3 main guys In the Athletics, Mo, Jessica and Greg will all be going for Gold after Midnight so the viewership wont be super high but the share would be massive |

Victoria is now most definitely confirmed for Sunday 28th August at 9pm according to ITV Press.
So is clearly scheduled to get the jump on Poldark. So Autumn looks like the battle of the period dramas on Sunday. |

So Autumn looks like the battle of the period dramas on Sunday. 8 parters Cold Feet and Paranoid are both launching in September, as is new 6 parter The Level and the new series of DCI Banks. Quite a lot of drama to fit in, which is a nice problem to have, but hopefully nothing gets overshadowed. Quote:

Thursday 12am-4am (ie, Wednesday night) - 836,000 Olympic Breakfast - 1.64m (the peak quarter hour was 8.30-8.45, 2.18m) Good Morning Britain - 448,000 BBC2 replay 9.15am-1pm 750,000 BBC1 1.45-6pm 2.30m Pointless 1.49m Cash Trapped 1.66m Please do not use these Olympic-affected figures out of context after the Olympics to suggest GMB/Pointless are doing badly or Breakfast is declining. I know some posters will anyway. Quote:
We said that about the opening ceremony

Presumably against X Factor. You'd expect Casualty to get a boost for an episode like that and with X Factor on the decline that could be closer than you might expect.
