The majority of snooker has always been a Eurosport broadcast product for many, many years, originally from the contracts Barry Hearn signed, and now including the ones agreed when he handed over to his son where it's licensed via DAZN / WST TV who maintain the Eurosport TV agreement.
As with some other sports BBC / ITV have agreements from Hearn Jnr & also Eurosport to allow them access to certain domestic tournaments with limited / partial table coverage of 1 match in a session whilst Eurosport have all tables available and the BBC retain full / extended rights for things like The Crucible as part of Hearn's commitment to those events having wider F2A coverage.
From memory it was one of the main long term deals he agreed before handing over to his son as i remember him saying he regularly refused to agree to sell the rights to Sky, back in the day when they used to buy up everything going, as he didn't want it locked away fully behind an uncontrollable paywall.

Watching the British open last night, only Selby could drag a best of 7 match out that long, I gave up with it but by all accounts it was nearly 1am when finished, last frame over 1 hour, he is dire to watch at times.
I watched a bit of that as well, and I was telling my missus how much Selby winds me up! He does my head in. cerb4.5lee said:

And the final frame with williams requiring a snooker and developing the 3 reds. Then getting the free ball to win the frame and tournament!!
Off to Brentwood tomorrow, Ronnie meant to be playing at 1pm ( but see he was is china yesterday evening ) soo can't see him turn up.
