Bit of a blow for the Beeb as it did garner some decent ratings - the 2022 final, according to the World Seniors Tour, was watched by 200k on Red Button and another 192k online.
The field is somewhat more international this time compared to the last few years (funnily enough, Jimmy White missed out on qualifying for the actual World Championship earlier today…)

Likewise, those few events of Snooker 900 must have rated well for Channel 5 for them to acquire some standard format snooker.
