Sky Sports is the UK's premier dedicated sports channel and their commitment to Pool is shown again in 2002 with live coverage of each day of the World Pool Championship.

With fifteen cameras covering the TV Table, including overhead and pocket cameras, viewers at home are offered table-side seats to the action.
