    Thanks for the correction 4-4-2 - for some reason BBC London's Fulham v Charlton commentary wasn't listed on the BBC Sport - Football commentaries page as the Aberdeen v Motherwell and Macclesfield v Wrexham games are.

    Fulham v Charlton isn't available online.

    Thanks again, I didn't realise that BBC London were unable to webcast their Football League commentaries as they are able to with their Premier League commentaries. Do you know if this has always been the case or have things changed this season? My memory may well be playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember listening to a BBC London Football League commentary via TuneIn last season.

    Neither Today FM or Newstalk in the Republic of Ireland carried updates on Swansea City v Leicester City.

    Worcester City v Greeenwich Borough (FA Cup 4th qualifying round) - Dan Johnson and Keith Hall for BBC Hereford & Worcester (738MW / Online)

    The. stream. constantly. drops. so. it. sounds. like. they. are. forever. hiccuping.

    Just to note that the BBC Hereford & Worcester team involved here are two lead commentators, Dan Johnson being their regular Worcester City commentator and Keith Hall being their former regular Hereford United man.

    According to his Twitter feed, Keith Hall commentated Evesham United v Bromley in the FA Cup for H&W yesterday, so it looks like he's back working for that station on a more regular basis. His Twitter biography still lists him as freelancing for talkSPORT Live, but he's not been among the 20 commentators that they've called upon so far this season. Hall's Twitter bio has also been updated to state that he's worked for the Aston Villa and Wolves websites - for the latter, I'm guessing he might have done a few Wolves Player audio commentaries on matchdays when neither BBC WM or Free Radio 80s are able to provide them with a commentary?

    Mark Saggers presenting Kick Off: Monday Night Feist Night alongside Stan Collymore

    Premier League
    Queens Park Rangers v Aston Villa - Tony Incenzo


    talkSPORT Live

    Premier League
    Queens Park Rangers v Aston Villa - Tom Rennie and Paul Mortimer

    For the record, talkSPORT didn't simulcast audio from the FA Cup First Round draw during Kick Off this evening. They have simulcast FA Cup draws in previous seasons (as their official rights deal with The FA entitles them to do) although they usually start doing so from the Third Round draw onwards.

    Connor - out of interest how did BBC WM and Free Radio 80s cover the appointment of Gary Rowett as Birmingham City manager today? Not caught The Goalzone's Sports Bar tonight, I will catch up on the podcast later.

    Well yesterday not much it was just the same as last week. But today was the press conference.

    On BBC WM the first 5 minutes of the main press conference was live at 4pm and then Gary Rowett did a one to one with Richard Wilford which Paul Franks played out bits of on Drive and the full interview will be played out before kick off tonight.

    On Free Radio 80s today Tom Ross must of been at the press conference with is why he was in the studio.
