Darts final must be free to air TV

2 Jan 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news that Luke Littler has made it to the Darts World Championships final, Liberal Democrat Culture & Sports Spokesperson Jamie Stone MP said:

"The country is gripped by darts fever and the spectacle of a 16 year old Brit becoming world champion. 

"It would be scandalous for this historic game to be hidden away from millions of people. The final must be on free to air TV. If Football, Cricket and Rugby world cup finals are free to air, then so should darts.

"Sky Sports should do the right thing and share coverage with the likes of the BBC or ITV.  Ministers have them power to put pressure on them."
