The darts has been featured on the BBC news twice now in the sports section.
Friday : Lisa Ashton
Saturday: Power cut
Marketing department is pulling a blinder.
Just like Sky didn't comment much on the CLoD because it was on the Beeb.
Events on other networks become persona non grata with only minor mentions.
Something that always intrigues me: How it is possible that halfway december there are wasps in London? While meanwhile it is below 10 degrees outside..

I mean they could have mentioned Andersons win yesterday. That would have been great.
I was talking about Mike Bushell on the couch on breakfast news not the website.
Met him a few times, he lives in my village. Lovely little fella.
True story.
But, but, but he doesn't mention a darts tournament that Sky have the rights to enough when he's "on the couch".
I'll let him know Chris took umbrage with his lack of comments on the ongoing first round of a darts tournament on a different channel to the one he works for.
I'm sure his manager is also disgusted and wouldn't be surprised if it was mentioned on Mikes PDR. Definitely a topic that needs discussion in his next appraisal.

Imagine the darts was played indoors in a warm building.

He's only had 2 opportunities to mention it and mentioned it both times.

yes players will get better with more tv exposure but this is afternoon has been as bad as the worst offerings offered in the mens event at lakeside
In a 2018 BDO World Championship preliminary match, Chris Harris beat Ümit Uygunsözlü 3-2. He had a 75.22 average to Ümit's 76.19.
I put it to you that you are wrong.
Looks like he ain’t, this current game is as bad if not worse...
