| I have really enjoyed the Premier League this year and looking forward to seeing some more comps on TV. I know there is comps going on all the time, but I think it would be good to have a couple more TV events. Should they make some new ones for the TV or do you think there is enough already? Would be nice if the B.D.O. had more TV coverage and I really like the Grand Slam of darts which is a fairly new TV event. I would love to see a comp along the lines of the old News Of The World format where ordinary pub players have the chance of advancing to a finals with top pros, as it was the best of 3 legs it was the sort of comp where a half decent player had a very good chance of advancing quite far in the competition, after all even a top pro can be off there game occasionally and with such a short format as best of 3 legs anything can happen. |

| Totally agree, more darts on TV for me too Would love the idea of a News of the World style tournament too, in fact I am surprised that with the success and viewing figures of the televised darts that we have currently have that they have not, at least considered, putting more events on. Maybe the issue would be that with more TV darts, maybe shown on terrestrial TV that people would switch off to the subscriptions (SKY) and make do with smaller events. |

| Well the Grand Slam was first shown on ITV4, but then Sky took over it again, which was annoying really. If it was not for the people who put live streams on the net and if I never had Sky player on my Xbox then I would see no darts at all apart from the B.D.O. once or twice a year, bit shocking really! But I think a new format like NOTW would be great and give the ordinary guys at the pub a chance to feel part of something bigger. I would also like to see a one off novelty event where the pros use old brass darts and throw from 9 feet, think that would be interesting |

| I'd like to see a lot more BDO events on TV - not just the mens events but the ladies too. Events like the Mariflex, Center Parcs and Isle of Man, and some of the international team events like the World Cup and the recent 3 nations.
As far as PDC events go I would like to see some of the floor events covered like the Players Championships, and maybe the European Tour events like the one that is on this weekend.
I would also like to see some more cross-code events, and maybe some of the youth tour events as well.
Don't want much really do I lol |

| I think having some of the youth events on TV would be good, good for the fans to see what the up and coming talent is and good for the young players to have some TV exposure. |

| I`d like to see a pairs comp. Maybe even played from 701. It would be interesting to see who played with eachother. I think it would shake things up a bit and would make good viewing. |

Not sure if they would ever do that, but think that would be interesting viewing too! - Bigshow wrote:

| Glamorgan v Essex was streamed at the beginning of this season. Wasn't a great picture, but you could still see the board clear enough. I think it may have been Glamorgan who set it all up, and not the BDO, but it was a start that I would like to see continued. |
