Piss Palace Disaster Festivities, 2019

[Randall]

There are literally hundreds of channels looking for filler.
They would probably have to front the production costs though.

Hacking down the horror to a few sessions might be the initial answer to that.

Its length and shape today is what the BBC wanted it to be, pretty much. This is a giant-sized product, the market for which has "sadly" fucked orff.

A weekend event somebody might take.
That said you assume the pdc has taken the euro tour to market?

[Rogg]

TV-wise, what's the best case (realistic) scenario for the BDO for January then? Assuming Channel 4 is gone.

Freesports or Frontrunner?

Well that would be hilarious.

Would be great if it ended up on one of the Islamic channels on Sky.

Can see the nf audience that makes up the bdo rent a mob would be pleased.

Imagine if they ended up having to ban alcohol at the venue to get it on tv!

Some deluded soul on TSoD suggested best case would be Channel 5.

Behave!

Is that a much more unlikely suggestion than Channel 4 seemed a couple of years back?

Much more unlikely. They show fuck all live sport these days as far as I know, at least not in waking hours. Football highlights now shipped off to Quest and only the cricket highlights (hour long programmes, not 9 fucking days worth) springs to mind.

They have a bit of boxing.

Adams would retire on the spot.

It could be here...…….

That said you assume the pdc has taken the euro tour to market?

I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't. I think they've got designs on eventually expanding the World Series into full-fledged TV / tour events, and putting the Euro Tour on TV at this point would get in the way of that sooner or later. Probably more likely that a handful of Euro Tour stops get elevated in stature when that time comes.

Any phone calls today?

Any phone calls today?

Funny you should ask sir........

Should anyone feel the desire to call Lakeside they'll now be told that although nothing is confirmed yet there's a new website coming online Monday with all the details.

You really couldn't make this shit up.

[The Ginge Reaper]

A new website coming online from who? The BDO one was due two days ago

[The Ginge Reaper]

Oh for crying out loud

Well Lakeside clearly know it's there then, why would they care about the new website launch otherwise?

Surely the last thing you want to hear in any circumstances.

Launching a functioning, shiny new website on time and to deliver full World Pro details seemed almost achievable at the start of the week!

Pigeons must have gone on strike.

Twould be unfortunate to announce the latest decline in the World Pro's TV status in the same week some low-life PDC exhibition returns to the BBC.

Let's hope they do that then.
