Holsten Premier League Hits America!

DARTS fans across America can see coverage of the 2006 Holsten Premier League Darts on the OLN Network from Saturday 5 August.

Outdoor Life Network will be screening 12 one-hour highlights programmes from the Premier League.

The coverage comes alongside Fox Sports' screening of PDC tournaments and the current airing of the World Series of Darts on ESPN.

Each episode will be screened initially at 10pm EST (7pm Pacific Time) on a Saturday.

"Outdoor Life Network's coverage will be more superb exposure for professional darts across America," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

"Running alongside the current programming, including the successful World Series of Darts, more people than ever before in the United States are able to see the best players in darts going toe-to-toe on the oche.

"This is a tremendous boost to the sport's profile in America, and the 2006 Holsten Premier League Darts will show some of the most exciting action ever seen."

The Holsten Premier League included a nine-dart leg from Raymond van Barneveld, two epic contests between Phil Taylor and the Dutchman and a string of other high-quality games featuring the likes of Colin Lloyd, Roland Scholten and Ronnie Baxter.

Each programme, to premiere on a Saturday with repeats during the week, will feature highlights from one of the ten league nights in the Holsten Premier League before culminating in the semi-finals and final.
