Let's be honest. This will definitely be televised. It must be.

The reason I say this: I am now watching live cricket on free sports.

Nangarhar v balkh. Afghanistan Premier league!

With no crowd from the match I saw a bit of ?...this is backed by wealthy Asians though and played in Sharjah and has proper TV coverage in Asia ..the BDO don't have that Base to work from...it's up to them to get the TV coverage organised and a station to show it and that's the hard part...I'm sure Freesports would show it if it was provided for them already packaged and done..

Yes yesterday was good game to but don’t forget this channel only shows sport no one else is interested in broadcasting like last nights Brazil v Argentina soccer game from Saudi Arabia (expertly filmed of course) :WWWW:

Fair point.

But now I am watching ipa premier league pool on free sports.

Crowd is a few guys boozing.

One guy on now is absolutely massive. Think his name is Marsh.

Again if this gets TV then surely the bdo can get it? And if they ended up on a channel like this it wouldn't be something to crow about?

We keep repeating ourselves.

I am sure Freesports would love to show BDO World.

However as with the other sports they show they would expect the rights for free and BDO to pay all production costs.

However BDO have no sponsor to pay for this. Plus where would money for a prize fund come from. The players would have to play for free and then try and use publicity to sell more future exbo tickets.

Exactly. But they have to face up to reality no one will pay for their prize fund.

If the BDO pay same prize fund as last year. What does that do to their bank balance ? assuming no TV money or sponsor.
How close to wiping them out ?

I see Chris Mason is playing the "I know something you all dont" regarding all this on Facebook. Knows who will be showing it, apparently.

Why?

Other than (possibly) an appalling stream, I see no evidence that this event is even taking place, let alone being covered in the media.

"Must be"? No event has a divine right to be on television, although this one will be somewhere.

I will suggest the event having no official venue yet is of a bigger concern, but you feel the two issues (no tv and no venue) are perhaps conditional on each other.

Yes I am upset that someone who works in the media knows before some nobody on a forum :roll:

Who cares who is showing it, the more pressing issue is where it is and obtaining tickets for it.

If was staking £100 on this with a bookies they'd give me big odds. What price are you giving me?

Only fair the wager reflects the actual odds tbh, no way is it an evens shot.

1/10 it takes place against 8/1 it doesnt, IMO.
