Quote: WireFanatic II "The BBC have the BDO World Championships till 2013. The contract was to finish after this years tournament, but the BBC extended it last September.
Not too sure what the contract is for the Winmau World Masters.'"
if the BDO no longer existed - then the BDO World Championships wouldnt be occuring, so there is nothing for the BBC to broadcast.
I would guess that they will come to some agreement whereby the BBC get highlights of the combined World Championships, and maybe a couple of Live sessions - for the duration of the BDO contract.
