English Football on the Radio

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to get it? Both Talk Sport and Five Live shut down during football times due to what they say is 'contractual obligations'. I can get Sky Sports centre but then have to sit at the PC. Any help appreciated.

Re: English Football on the Radio

Depends on who you wanna listen to?

I'm currently listening to the Chelsea v Spurs game on BBC London via the internet. Being a Spurs fan, BBC London cover all their games, so I'm lucky.

You could try the local BBC station for your team.

BBC London good and doing the job nicely. So why can Five Live not broadcast the same game? It's the same company. Wierd.

Re: English Football on the Radio

It's a rights issue. I think it's something to do with local rights v national rights. I know, it's weird but then these rights issues are!!

Well done to your lot, Swiss Cheddar

Re: English Football on the Radio

I posted this link some time back but it stopped working on Macs, you need IE on a PC for some reason. Click on the "GO" next to the game you want and it'll show if they have commentary. Sometimes you have to listen to your opposing clubs own radio station commentary, which can be interesting!

Please let me know if it still works. I subscribe to Leeds Utd TV so get live radio broadcasts from Yorkshire TV and televised highlights a day or 2 later. And yes, it is worth it, even if it is League One

If you recall the bidding battles over the years among BBC/Sky/ITV for the rights to broadcast sports events, this is probably something negotiated with the FA. Just so you know where to send your complaints

Re: English Football on the Radio

There's always been a rule about not broadcasting 3pm Saturday kick offs, as a way of keeping attendance up I think, hence all the various weekend kick off times

For TV sure, but not radio.

I know that, that's why I mentioned it I think the lack of Five Live is that they can't broadcast abroad or via the internet for some matches.

Well it still works. Forgot I subscribed to this whilst still living in the UK. (Being a SAFC fan). Typed in my old username and downloaded what it told me to and excellent. Lets me listen to all the games live. Nice one.

Re: English Football on the Radio

Has anyone got the Man Utd v City game anywhere or knows where I can listen to the game later? I can't face another 2hr hike to Bern to watch them.

Re: English Football on the Radio

Internet radio/VPN is the way forward - was watching Final Score in Basel last weekend - marvellous.

If you need more info on the above, PM me.

Re: English Football on the Radio

It may be worth trying the BBC local stations as mentioned in earlier posts. Here is the index to the BBC Local Radio stations websites. They should all have a 'Listen Live' option usually at the top of the Home Page.
