Snooker World Championships

[Khandro]

I'm just trying to find which channel it is on, and am amazed that there is no live coverage on British TV, only highlights at 11:55 (UK) and yet I can watch it live on German TV - what's going on?

[Cloverjo]

It’s on Eurosport if that’s any help. Probably not.
I guess the BBC lost in the bidding for the rights to show it live. Shame really.

Better to watch on Eurosport,don’t have to listen to O’Sullivan fan club on there.

[albaqwerty]

haven't checked, but tv magazine says it's on bbc2.

I know it's nothing to do with the snooker, but the last 2 days of Masters golf coverage was the last to be shown on the beeb this year.
They, the beeb, are struggling to pay for live coverage of a lot of sports.

BBC are showing live coverage but spread over traditional channels (BBC One & BBC Two), red button & iPlayer

I'm watching it on Freeview 601 at the mo.

Your original premise is wrong....Lots of live coverage clearly listed in Radio Times on BBC1 and BBC2...with even a choice of tables on the "red button"...

[Hopkirk]

It's on red button at the moment, but I don't know if it's live.

[ToraToraTora]

watched it live on BBC1 this afternoon.

According to the RT;
Sat 20 April; BBC 2 @ 10 am - 12 noon, BBC 1 @ 1.15 pm - 4.30 pm, back to BBC 2 @ 4.30 - 5.35 pm, the back to BBC 1 for the highlights at 11.55 pm.
Sun 21 April; All BBC 2, 10 am - 12.15 pm, 2 pm - 6.15 pm, then highlights @ 11.35 pm.
Suggest you consult the Radio Times for the rest of the tournament, Khandro.

[Khandro]

I don't have a red button facility but thanks. It's finished anyway now.

[Hopkirk]

If you are on Freeview, go to channel 601. That shows the red button transmission.
(as TCL observed earlier)

it's live on BBC1/2 every day, I'm watching it on BBC 2 now.
