They'll be doing their first commentary, Chelsea v Bolton, tomorrow between 7-10pm with the programme being listed as BWFC Live with Andy Lawson. Andy is also listed as the presenter of Saturday Sport between 2-6pm, which will encompass most of their Trotters commentaries.
A couple of mini press releases:
Join us on Wednesday 29 December for the return of Bolton Wanderers commentary to Tower FM.
Our first game takes us to Stamford Bridge, as Owen Coyle's men take on a Chelsea side who haven't quite hit the form of previous seasons so far this campaign.
Can the Trotters pick up their first win at the Bridge since Christmas 2003? You'll find out right here on Tower FM!
The pre-match build up starts at 7pm, then we'll bring you the whole game live from 7.45pm.
We'll have full commentary from every Bolton Wanderers game, plus live reports from all the big Premier League games.
We'll also keep an eye on the local League 2 action involving Bury.
So it looks as if Andy Lawson has been confirmed as Tower's football anchorman, but I wonder if they've decided upon a commentary team yet?
If they have yet to organise commentators, it might be possible for them to take talkSPORT's commentary on Chelsea v Bolton tomorrow night seeing as that one is their live game too and both stations are owned by UTV Radio. But we shall see.
I guess they'll be taking IRN updates from other Premier League games as their sister station Signal 2 in Stoke does on Saturdays. It will be interesting to find out whether they will have a reporter at Bury games or if they'll just be keeping an eye on their scorelines during Bolton commentaries.
Andy, will you be able to listen to some of Tower's coverage tomorrow night? I will dip into their build-up (should it be streamed online) if I can but I can't promise I'll be at my PC between 7-8pm tomorrow.

Looks like Nigel Pearson is taking some time off from the darts. Judging by how he is covering a game in his native Black Country rather than one in London, I guess he'll be missing the whole day at the Palace rather than just the afternoon session. I understand Nigel's not scheduled to cover another match for talkSPORT until after the end of the PDC World Championship, so Sky Sports should be able to call upon his services from tomorrow through until the final.
