The British Open [1] is one of the longest-running darts events, having started just a few months after the inaugural Winmau World Masters in 1975. The tournament used to be televised by the BBC from its inception, but it ceased to cover the event after 1983. ITV took over from 1984 to 1988, then BSB Sports Channel/Sky Sports covered from 1990 to 1992. It was often held between Christmas and New Year - the 1975 Championship was actually played in late 1974. The tradition was maintained until near the millennium, when the organisers moved the tournament back to September/October. In recent years the tournament has been televised on Eurosport along with several other BDO tournaments that were previously untelevised.
