*I've indicated the jobs of those who, to the best of my knowledge, don't fulfill those three main roles. Is that just about every BBC Local Radio station covered?
Odd that Mick Lowes or one of the other BBC Newcastle commentators didn't do the Newcastle preview.
On a side note, TS said during their afternoon show that they'll be broadcasting their coverage of PL games and other shows to BFBS through the coming season.

They've been doing that for at least the past season.

BREAKING NEWS: Tony Butler who is a pundit on the Friday Football phone in on the West Midlands Gold Stations, announced his retirement live on air tonight. Absolute Legend http://www.freeradio.co.uk/news/sport/butler-on-his-bike/

*The rugby league is on AM, DAB and online. The frequencies were split after the news at 7. I don't know why Nick Hatton was at the match. Gareth and Kieran managed on their own on Tuesday.
Haven't been following this thread all summer so apologies if this is repetition.
It looks like David Oates and Nigel Adderley have been cut from 5 live's commentary team. Oates had been with 5 live since the station started while Adderley has been at the BBC for 19 years.
Both will commentate for the IPC (International Paralympic Movement) website for the Paralympics. http://www.paralympic.org

All the best of luck to Tony Butler in both his retirement and in his recovery from the heart problems he has been suffering. I'll be honest, I was never a huge fan of his work on BBC WM but since he returned to the commercial sector a few years I have really enjoyed the Friday Football Phone-In and his double act with Tom Ross. I'll miss the knockabout stuff between the pair of them and their many callers.

Rochdale should read Rotherham United, of course.
