Sky Sports have been urged to allow the World Darts Championship final to be shown on free-to-air TV.
A Liberal Democrat MP has claimed it would be "scandalous" if Luke Littler's match against Luke Humphries was not made available for everyone to watch.
Sky Sports have the sole TV rights to show the tournament in the UK and will broadcast the clash from 8pm on Wednesday.
Teenage sensation Littler set up a match against the new world No 1 with a thumping 6-2 win over 2018 champion Rob Cross on Tuesday.

Humphries had a stunning win of his own, beating Scott Williams 6-0 in the other semi-final.
Both players are aiming to win their first World Championship but Littler's rise to stardom is the real story.
The 16-year-old became the youngest player ever to win a game at the tournament in the first round.
And he has continued to break records by beating the likes of Raymond van Barneveld and Brendan Dolan on his way to the final.
The nation have become gripped by Littler and are desperate to see him up against the best player in the world.
However, watching the match will be tricky for some fans.
Either they need a Sky Sports membership or a Now TV day contract to watch the showpiece event.
But Jamie Stone, the Liberal Democrat Culture & Sports Spokesperson, has called on there to be a late change.
The MP, who represents Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross in Scotland, says organisers must follow in the footsteps of other sports and make the match free-to-air.
Stone said in a statement: "The country is gripped by darts fever and the spectacle of a 16-year-old Brit becoming world champion.
"It would be scandalous for this historic game to be hidden away from millions of people. The final must be on free-to-air TV.
"If Football, Cricket and Rugby World Cup finals are free-to-air, then so should darts.
"Sky Sports should do the right thing and share coverage with the likes of the BBC or ITV.
"Ministers have the power to put pressure on them."

Humphries' win over Williams promoted him to No 1 in the world for the first time.
But he believes he must play the game of his life to stop Littler.
Humphries said: "The way he's played, I've seen it many times. When you come up on this stage it can be a lot tougher but he's just proved he's got a lot of bottle.
"Nothing is going to faze him. If he plays like he did tonight, tomorrow is not going to faze him at all, so I will probably have to play the game of my life.

"I will probably have to play like that again to stand a chance of beating him.
"I know what's in front of me and what the task is.
"I've got to play at my best tomorrow but I'm hoping I make him play his best as well and we give the fans hopefully one of the best World finals we have ever seen."
