I almost feel dirty contributing to the viewership figures.

There will be no better comedy on next week though.

A very small chance that the PDC final will outstrip the Lakeshite final 2018 then. The 2017 Lakeshite final had a 7-day figure of 1.037 (including +1)
I think it will.

It's very possible that the BDO won't improve on last year's figures. Why would they? A 10% decrease seems very possible.

Cue cries of "but Sky showed it across 2 channels" if that happens, despite the Lakeside final...also being on 2 channels :D

For me the battle for ratings is beyond the UK now. PDC have no fight there and the easiest thing to do is let the BDO punch itself out. The international market is where it is at. BDO is no threat there and the obstacles for the PDC vary in each market and are more complicated than those posed by a competitive rival BDO.

Figures regularly in the region of 6k, can only assume people are having humongous darts parties with their mates across the world

Plus those actually watching on actual TV channels around the world as Cannibal alluded to previously. The BDO stream figures so far appear pitiful

Well the final "final" figure is in.

Sky Sports Main Event = 706k
Sky Sports Arena/Darts = 352k

TOTAL = 1.058m

Blimey, over a million for the first time in ages.

That's only in the UK, worldwide on TV channels will add a load to those numbers
