What TV channel is the BDO World Darts channel on and is it live?

Channel 4 will broadcast the afternoon sessions on free-to-air TV while BT Sport will televise the evening sessions.

Both channels will show the final live.

Who is bookies favourite to win and what are the odds?

Defending champion Glen Durrant is Sky Bet's 11/10 favourite to lift the trophy for a second time while last year's runner-up Danny Noppert is next in the running 8/1 despite having to come through a preliminary-round match.

This is because he had a quiet year while he juggled with his full-time job, which he recently quit, and is now coming into good form having won the Finder Darts Masters in December.

Former champion Scott Mitchell will be well backed at 12/1 while Jamie Hughes (14/1), Cameron Menzies (18/1) and current BDO number one Mark McGeeney (22/1), who all featured at the Grand Slam of Darts, are among the lively outsiders.

As is Scott Waites (22/1) and Lakeside legend Martin Adams, who is 40/1.

BDO World Championship history

The BDO World Darts Championship began in 1978, when Leighton Rees triumphed over a future three-time winner John Lowe.

The likes of Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson, Keith Deller, Dennis Priestley and Phil Taylor got their hands on the famous trophy before the breakaway of the PDC in 1994.

Raymond van Barneveld became the second-most successful player in the competition's history behind five-time champion Bristow when lifting the trophy on four occasions between 1998 and 2005 before he eventually left to the PDC.

Martin 'Wolfie' Adams has since won it three times while Scott Waites and Ted Hankey are recent names to have become multiple winners.
