BBC Deal For Champions League of Darts

The Players Championship treble-header at the Barnsley Metrodome which was originally scheduled for September 23-25 will now be played from September 21-23.

Wednesday to Friday. I don't see that going down well in some quarters, players who work during the week etc.

No it won't but they have plenty of time to arrange the time off and everything else they need. Another example of professionalism; giving those affected plenty of time to make alternative arrangements or raise concerns.

True, 7 months to sort themselves and it'll only be an issue this year. The tournament will be properly built into the calendar from the outset in future years, and very probably will expand once it's established. I'm surprised by all this I must say! Very good news indeed.

Match of the day style highlights of other PDC events to come maybe? Opened up such a potentially big avenue this. The BBC look really bought into as well by looks of the early PR.

The decision to broadcast the new event means the BBC will cease to cover the BDO World Championship.

Think it was added in later; the BDO must have known this was coming. Might explain their desperation to get Billingsgate off the ground

Wow, so it's official. Impossible to think how this could have been more painful for the BDO. It's not just that the BBC have binned them after 40 years, but they've actually got into bed with the PDC to do so.

There goes any hope of spinning it by saying 'oh well, the BBC are making cuts, and darts had to go'. They still want darts. Just not BDO darts.

PLEASE make a "The BDO is going from..." version of that

[Mothy]

Brilliant news. All hail Uncle Barry and the PDC, this is a great deal.

With no more Lakeside on BBC, that has to spell impending doom for the BDO. Without it, they have barely anything going for them.

Yeah I'm sure that line wasn't in the article when it first went up. Odd.

What next for Lakeside?
