Snooker on TV: BBC signs new deal to keep Triple Crown tournaments on terrestrial until 2024

The deal means the BBC will continue its comprehensive live television coverage and online streaming of the World Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said: “So many great moments in the history of our sport are synonymous with the coverage they have received on the BBC.

"The Triple Crown tournaments have a history which can’t be replicated and bring something extra special to snooker fans and those watching on the BBC alike."
