The National Lottery draw will no longer be shown live on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One from next year as part of a new deal between the broadcaster and operator Camelot.

Viewers wishing to see the balls drawn live on Saturdays will have to visit the iPlayer from 7 January onwards.

The Saturday draw has been a ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One fixture since 1994. Its Wednesday counterpart was dropped in 2012.

The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ said the decision to move the show onto a digital platform reflected changes in viewers' behaviour.

Charlotte Moore, director of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ content, said the new three-year deal would give audiences "more ways to access the draw results across a range of platforms".

The National Lottery Awards, which recognises recipients of National Lottery Good Causes funding, will continue to be shown on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One.
