Seething as fuck. I'd put a red pen through his pointless dissertation.

talkSPORT, the world’s biggest sports radio station, has secured exclusive UK radio rights for the 2017/2018 William Hill World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

There will be updates from every session across the first round, as sporting legend Phil 'The Power' Taylor attempts to win an unprecedented 17th World Championship title in what will be his last-ever professional event and reigning champion Michael van Gerwen bids for a hat-trick of titles at the iconic North London venue

talkSPORT 2 will then have full commentary from Thursday 21 December up to the quarter-finals on Friday 29 December before coverage switches to talkSPORT for the semi-finals on Saturday 30 December and final on Monday 1 January respectively.

The talkSPORT and talkSPORT 2 team includes presenters Ray Stubbs and Andy Goldstein, former darts stars Colin Lloyd and Bobby George as well as respected commentators Nigel Pearson, Jim Proudfoot and John Gwynne.

Liam Fisher, Wireless Group National Controller, said: “Few sporting arenas can match the Ally Pally in December for the PDC World Championship Darts. It’s a privilege to bring one of the biggest sporting events of the Christmas period to the talkSPORT and talkSPORT 2 audience.

“With so much live football, racing, rugby, NFL and now darts over Christmas and the New Year, there’s only one place to go for your festive fix of sport."

PDC Chairman Barry Hearn said: "It's great to welcome talkSPORT on board to cover the William Hill World Darts Championship through both talkSPORT and talkSPORT 2.

"talkSPORT have always been great supporters of darts and this deal will be a fantastic addition to their festive schedules and a boost for darts fans across the UK, who will be able to listen to full coverage of the latter stages of the biggest event in the sport."

RADIO

[The Ginge Reaper]

Crikey.

[ITG]

Cunts be fizzin' at that.

[Zeyes]

What, no seven-year contract with talkSPORT? Clearly it's all going downhill.

[D'Artagnan]

I would like to embed an axe into his head, Cornish no more!

[Rogg]

Talkport, The Sun for people who can't read.

That's a huge platform.

Multiple full live commentaries of darts matches, including semis and final on the main station. Substantial crikey.

[Rogg]

What a couple of weeks this has been for darts fans and players. Outrageous. It's a new era.

[Tommo]

Talkport, The Sun for people who can't read.

That's a huge platform.

Multiple full live commentaries of darts matches, including semis and final on the main station. Substantial crikey.

Who does the darts commentaries on Talksport, could be better than some of the shite we hear on Sky.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Darts on the radio only matters when its over one leg and involves a professional player downplaying his scores and losing over one leg against against a fat farmer who plays "proper darts".

[Rogg]

Talkport, The Sun for people who can't read.

That's a huge platform.

Multiple full live commentaries of darts matches, including semis and final on the main station. Substantial crikey.

Who does the darts commentaries on Talksport, could be better than some of the shite we hear on Sky.

I don't think they've done a live commentary since one of the Taylor-Priestley finals, possibly in 2000.

The article says Ray Stubbs, Andy Goldstein, Colin Lloyd, Bobby George, Nigel Pearson, Jim Proudfoot and John Gwynne.

If you can get the radio to synchronise with yer TV, using Talksport as an alternative commentary could be good.

[Mabbsy]

Beautiful news for my Chizzy. The next 7 should produce some major laughs at his expense for the fans.

Correct

[The Ginge Reaper]

Pearson, eh?

Have Sky dispensed with his services by the latter point of the tournament then?

[Rogg]

Pearson, eh?

Have Sky dispensed with his services by the latter point of the tournament then?

Yes maybe. He's worked for both Sky and Talksport for years doing all sorts, just goes where there's a job.

[Rogg]

Inntit sickening

[Randall]

More tears for the Shrooms.

[Dreamboy501]

ALL HAIL UNCLE BARRY!!!

ALL HAIL THE PDC

The only downside of this deal being seven years of more rubbish from that idiot Mardle.... But that's part and parcel of why Sky are the best.... You need to have the idiot of the class in it too....

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Mardle is decent.

[sennafan24]

You need to have the idiot of the class in it too....

Too easy.
