Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe

With apologies to fans of best of seven matches, I'm hailing long form snooker here, with an audio version of my new Sporting Life column.

I also let you know about some of my other work you can read and listen to right now. The Crucible draws ever closer folks. I know how excited you all are.

Does Neil Robertson now prefer the Tour Championship with its extended field of 12 players or did he prefer it with eight competing?

Thank you so much for your reaction to the seismic news that the World Championship will continue to be staged at the Crucible for decades into the future.

How many broadcasts is too many broadcasts? I guess you'll tell me. The data never lies, folks. The data never lies.

I'm back to give you some details about the BBC coverage of the World Championship.

Momentous news in snooker and Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe is back on the air to reflect on it.

The World Championship is staying at the Crucible - which will soon be revamped - for the long term. A new deal will run until at least 2045

I bring you all the details here, and deliver my verdict, on a red letter day for the sport.
