At level frames, John Higgins and Mark Williams make getting over the line look like hard work. Higgins builds a useful break, misses a red and has to return to the tactical exchanges. Applause from the neighbouring table adds another interruption to an already painstaking decider.
That deciding-frame excerpt drew roughly 90,000 views, making it TNT Sports Snooker's most-watched new upload of the week. The Class of '92 billing has real history behind it: Higgins, Williams and Ronnie O'Sullivan all turned professional in 1992. Among viewers discussing the match, their extraordinary longevity is a recurring theme; another asks whether Williams actually conceded at the end.
The week's coverage then followed Higgins past Chang Bingyu and into the International Championship final against Kyren Wilson. Wilson's route featured meetings with Ding Junhui and Fan Zhengyi. The final excerpt is now attracting the most daily views on the channel, with a separate Wilson fluke clip also gathering attention.
Across the library, the week added about 581,000 views, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is currently well below the channel's usual level. Nearby sports channels offer a mixed picture: Stan Sport is enjoying substantially busier daily viewing than usual, while REEL ROCK is quieter.
For TNT Sports Snooker, the final is doing the most work now, but the week's largest new audience belonged to two players whose shared professional story stretches back more than three decades.
