TV and snooker have been good for each other. The sport is one of the easier to televise and with the colour contrasts and the disparate personalities involved it has attracted an audience which spreads across all demographic groups. A match keeps an audience for a long time and indeed snooker fills the schedule very nicely. That heavy exposure has brought the sport to many and nothing beats TV coverage for prompting the "I fancy a go at that" mentality. Off the back of TV coverage comes sponsorship and the heavy hitters have major players associated with them. Certainly the younger end of the market are heavily driven by the brands the stars use.
