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 [[British Darts Organisation|BDO tournaments]] that were previously untelevised.

The tournament's 50th edition was held at [[Bridlington Spa]], [[Bridlington]] in 2025. The men's tournament been won by several world champions including: [[John Lowe (darts player)|John Lowe]], [[Eric Bristow]], [[Jocky Wilson]], [[Martin Adams]], [[Raymond van Barneveld]], [[Gary Anderson (darts player)|Gary Anderson]] and [[Luke Littler]]. The women's tournament has been won by notable names [[Trina Gulliver]] and [[Fallon Sherrock]].<ref name=BBC50>{{cite web |date=3 September 2025 |title=Major darts event to celebrate 50th anniversary |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r7rpn22v4o |website=[[BBC News]] |access-date=24 September 2025}}</ref>
