Will be watching tomorrow night on TV. Seen a couple of events on the channel. One was chronic (pool) and one was very good (basket ball). So if the right folks are filming thus picture quality should be okay.

The general atmosphere will b be key though as to how it comes across.

The broadcast quality will be purely as good as the production company covering the event...some sports they show are world feeds that Sky would show and have showed if they covered that sport...others don't meet the quality Sky would require....I'm sure the darts will be somewhere in between..

Surely it’ll be the DiM guys again? If so it will be excellent.

Any idea of commentators? Gwynne and Mason?

[Zeyes]

Does that make any sense? " We are here at BDO darts as soft tip uk introduce you to the very latest darts technology" I take it they may be asian based.

Phoenix is from Korea, but this seems to be just a badly worded promo campaign by a UK company that happens to lease (?) Phoenix machines. "Level" is an entertainment complex at the Guild Hall, apparently.

Steve Jamieson, done some darts before.

[devosteve]

Mason doing pdc world cup I believe for talk sport.

[ChrisW]

Think they will do a good job. And if it is DiM for the tv should be pretty good.

[BlueSpark]

Looking forward to the action kicking off tonight.

[craigmc]

Woke up like a kid on Christmas Day. The stars of BDO take the stage tonight! Household names,huge averages,huge appreciative crowds. The Ladies matches are a boon and seeing Gary Robson and Scott Dog on same night it's as good as darts gets?

[oche balboa]

[markymark]

[Ginge]

Oh fek

[Lee Taylor]

Today’s the day then folks!

[Ginge]

Today’s the day then folks!

A massive 46 table tickets sold for today's session!!!!

Will look worse than the Welsh cinema did.

Will count the rest later as off out.

[Scrogaldo]

How much do you think the commentators get paid for their 5 days work on this?

Just curious.

Bloody hell - we get more than that for our local league presentation.

A bottle of Coke and a bag of crisps.

If they do a double session they get a pickled egg too.

You should have asked and I would have told you !
Clue was there weeks ago Freesports announce England Open and Six nations coverage .
It’s well known TV 247 don’t get on well with some factions of present bdo board! Well documented that Des has had a chat and trying to rebuild bridges with England and then TV announced late in the day for WDT .
Perhaps working together might just work if it does it shows what a waste of time and energy the last 4 years have been .
