The tournament was organised by the British Darts Organisation (BDO). Following the 1988 World Masters ITV pulled all their coverage of darts and the BBC decided to withdraw their coverage of the 1988 British Professional Championship, meaning that this World Championship was the only televised darts tournament in 1989.http://www.talkdarts.co.uk/guides/bdo_darts.html BDO Darts Talkdarts.co.uk 2011-02-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20110110060050/http://www.talkdarts.co.uk/guides/bdo_darts.html 10 January 2011 dead The World Championship would remain the only annual televised event for the next four years. In an attempt to improve the image of the game (which contributed to the loss of television coverage and sponsors), the BDO decided that players would no longer be allowed to drink alcohol during matches - allowing just water on the stage. The tournament itself saw Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow meet in the final after Wilson had beaten defending champion Bob Anderson and Bristow had seen off John Lowe in the semi-finals. Wilson raced into a five sets to nil lead, but Bristow took the next four sets to set up a tense finish - until, after missing several double attempts, Wilson finally took the title 6–4.
