Live Raffle Drawing doesn't really sound like edge of your seat telly to me.
Don't see Eurosport going for it. There's probably some niche channel out there who might give it a crack if they can get Des to pay for it. Plus, when they realise what utter turd the whole idea is, they can quickly stick some pre-recorded motor racing on instead.

Topless live draws?

TVX 40+ is a niche channel but even that has to abide to certain standards, crab paste and tits hitting your knees while drawing out big names like Mario Vandenbogaerde isn’t gonna attract any viewers

Its not. But getting venue + sponsor is, and it may be that teh instructions to SPortotal are that both are needed , as maybe, just maybe the Board is being firm and saying the event will not happen unless costs are covered. Sportotal then have x amount of time to find both. I'm suprised we are not passed that cut off point though, 8 weeks would have been about right - which is why I went for last saturday in the sweepstake!

I read on the BBC website that the Women's Super League in football receive no money from BBC and BT and give away the rights with the broadcasters just paying for broadcasting costs... So there's no reason that the BDO will be receiving a bean from Eurosport so for this to go ahead I assume wod depend entirely on sufficient sponsorship and what position are the BDO currently in to attract that outside of Bob Potter in January...
