I did hear that the 2009 finals would be on the BBC.
In 2001 the BBC screened the Worlds from Belfast.
In 2008 it was scheduled to screen the Europeans from Liverpool, which were meant to take place in March. The date was changed and nobody told the BBC! There was a plan in place to make every fight available.
Highlights of the Worlds from Thailand in 2003 were screened.
In 2006 the BBC screened highlights from the European championships in Bulgaria.
There was no British TV coverage of the Chinese Worlds in 2005 or Chicago Worlds in 2007.

Adios.

Will you be covering it for BBC :thumbsup. The Irish team is very strong. I expect a medal or two there.

Which is probably the reason why RTÉ are finally showing it for once.
I was a bit shocked tbh, but it's great news for us Irish.

Hopefully one of the UK channels will pick it up aswell, as RTÉ will presumely mainly just cover Irish participants and I want to see as much of it as I can.

The highlights program that was on Sky(I think), 2 years ago wasn't bad.
What was annoying was that they used American commentary and Teddy Atlas was involved.

Shame BBC won't be covering it like they did the Boxing at the Olympics.
Was great to be able to watch the whole tournament.
