The channel currently screens highlights of the 2007 Masters of Darts tournament on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. In May, its coverage will focus on live darts at the Mohegan Sun Casino, screening matches from the Professional Darts Corporation's US Open over two days in May.

The last 16 will play on Saturday 17 May, with the quarter-finals onwards being shown live on Nuts TV the next day, with coverage from 7pm to midnight on both days.

Joe Talbot, director of programming at Nuts TV, said that the station was pleased to be the only channel in the UK showing the tournament.

‘Associating the Nuts brand to the growing popularity of darts tournaments is a key part of our programme strategy,' he added.

The tournament was hugely successful in its inaugural year in 2007, with Phil 'The Power' Taylor taking the title with a defeat of Raymond van Barneveld in Connecticut.
