New 'Darts Show' coming to ITV4

Post by Rogg » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:42 pm

Hmmm. Only going by this tweet, I know nothing else. Some kind of magazine show, by the sound of it.


PDC Darts @OfficialPDC
Filming today for our new Darts Show, coming to ITV4 at the end of January.

So much for Paul Nicholson going off to practice for "qualifying", like Dan Walker said at the end of broadcast Sunday :D

I think Logan is BBC, so could be Lynsey Hipgrave or a generic blonde female presenter. Or I could be wrong!

Always thought there was a place for a darts magazine type of show. Was only a matter of time the way the PDC were going

have said that for donkeys years.

Even if it only was recaps of events, previews of upcoming events , discussions on the oom like it was a league table, permutations etc, insight on the development and challenge tours etc

There is a lot of stuff they could cover

During the PL is probably the best time to do it, surely? Open up the ITV audience to it all.

One day soon there will be free to air highlights of Ally Pally.

Agreed and actually surprised it took this long. For the last couple years there have been plenty of events to talk about on pretty much a weekly basis. Thought Tungsten Tales was going down that road but really did pretty much one thing interviews. A mag show needs more than that, regular punditary, betting tips, race for the qualifying spots, OOM battles, of course interviews and juicy gossip.

The big question is should they cover county darts :pointing: :pointing:

That is why i am surprised sky never had one, as they have all the rights to so many other comps footage

itv do have some coverage and events but not enough to cover the big majors without some sort of permission from sky

re: league table, this is is where ET's become interesting and I think could add an interesting viewing option on TV. In essence with the change to the Europe Champs the ET's are a sort of league and certainly a season within the dart season with its own final at the end. Gives the fans and the hardcore betting fans a chance to see some of the players we don't see often. Probably not a huge rating gett'er. I don't think any broadcaster would do the whole ET tour for 13 weeks for 3 days per event. But if they pared down the presentation to a day or maybe two, showing qrts thru finals and the rest highlight the best matches that got players thru to the qrtrs. Still a big risk to take for a broadcaster to lock into for that number of weeks.

I'd have thought the PDC have rights to their own footage to use in a programme like this so shouldn't be an issue. Not as if they'll be showing whole matches or the like.

PDC may have rights, but imagine if ITV was to show pdc darts from Sky, then they need permission from sky as well

It's a win win for all sides anyway. Any casual viewer who tunes in may end up watching more events on Sky as a result.

The BDO DARTS Show will be coming via a mobile phone at the Lincolnshire Open.
