Description

Hello everyone - this may be radio, but I've got my eyes on the telly in this new broadcast. Channel 5 have won the rights to show snooker from the main tour next year - confirming my reports - with the Players Championship, Tour Championship and British Open to be broadcast on the channel in 2026.

I'll reflect on the news and speculate over possible coverage on Channel 5 to come. I'll also talk about the brilliant way ITV have covered the sport in recent times. Plus, why you shouldn't rule out ITV still showing snooker in 2026.

Keep your feedback and your snooker thoughts coming to me please - tweet me @RadioSnooker or email radiosnooker@yahoo.com
