A lot is always made about the amount of television coverage that is provided by both BBC and Eurosport at every tournament throughout the season.
This is often both good and bad, but ultimately the pair of them do provide a good service with plenty of live snooker across the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe.
Below is the TV schedule for the upcoming 17 days of the 2014 World Championship in Sheffield.

speaking about Eurosport it is almost always BAD. Not a single match from the Q. rounds was shown, although there were a few pretty good matches. Quite often they delay the broadcast of matches having another channel. Moreover, in a couple of last years this channel has been showing much of the rubbish sport. I do doubt that it has a big audience, it used to enjoy a couple of years ago. It is a pity because I liked to watch this channel and nowadays I am forced to find live streams in the net.
