The Pulse
Huddersfield Town 7-1 Brighton and Hove Albion commentator: Tim Thornton Summariser: Michael Collins Bradford City 0-0 Lincoln City Reporter: Jason Thornton BBC Radio Leeds (92.4, 95.3 and 102.7 FM) Huddersfield Town 7-1 Brighton and Hove Albion Commentator: Paul Ogdon Summariser: Kieran O'Regan (103.9 FM, 774 AM, DAB and online) Walsall 1-2 Leeds United Coverage: Adam Pope and Andie Ritchie Bradford City 0-0 Lincoln City: Coverage: Derm Tanner Notes and Comments Kieran O'Regan was on BBC Southern Counties Radio before the match between Huddersfield Town and Brighton and Hove Albion began, because of his connection to Brighton and Hove Albion. I think Jason Thornton used to present a show with Tim Thornton on Teamtalk 252 in 2002. I also think they are brothers. Michael Collins's suspention ended tonight, so I think it is very likely that a different person will be summarising for the Pulse when they next commentate on Huddersfield Town. I wonder if Tim Thornton sounded excited after Huddersfield Town were 7-1 up? Pennine FM had reporters (including Matt) at the Galpharm Stadium but I didn't hear much of their coverage, just a half-time report. I hope they continued to use highlights instead of reports. |

Tim Thornton used to present 252 Sportsnight on TEAMtalk 252 every weeknight between 7:00pm-10:00pm and then used to present The Thornton Brothers on a Saturday morning between 9:00am-12:00pm with Jason Thornton.

That means I might not be able to catch any of the BRMB, Beacon, Gold, Mercia or BBC WM coverage of the midweek football, and so won't be able to post details on here later in the week.
If anyone could listen out to Tuesday and Wednesday's coverage I'd appreciate it - although I should be back in town to hear how the Midland stations cover Aston Villa's trip to the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium to face Rapid Vienna on Thursday. Tuesday 18th August BBC WM Mark Regan presenting WM Sport from the DW Stadium Premier League Wigan Athletic v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Mike Taylor and Mark Regan (commentary) Championship Peterborough United v West Bromwich Albion - Andrew Dawkins League One Walsall v Leeds United - Dan Wheeler Beacon 97.2/Mercia FM/Gold 990AM Tom Ross hosting The Goal Zone from the DW Stadium Premier League Wigan Athletic v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Tom Ross and Robbie Dennison (Beacon commentary) Championship Doncaster Rovers v Coventry City - Joe Holt and Dave Bennett (Mercia commentary) Peterborough United v West Bromwich Albion - Nathan Alleyne and Tony Brown (Gold 990AM commentary) Minster FM/Yorkshire Radio Thom Kirwin presenting The Match Day Programme from the Bescot Stadium League One Walsall v Leeds United - Thom Kirwin and Eddie Gray (commentary) Quote:
BBC Radio Leeds
(103.9 FM, 774 AM, DAB and online) Walsall 1-2 Leeds United Coverage: Adam Pope and Andie Ritchie During the passage of play I caught (early in the second half) the commentators, rather than talk about the match, instead read out the text messages and e-mails, gave out the station's contact details, played commentary of a goal from the Huddersfield game, updated the other scores and generally chatted about other things. Not once did I hear them actually commentate on the action in front of them. I didn't stick around to work out what was going on but did Radio Leeds not have accreditation to do commentary on this match? I notice you typed "coverage" rather than "commentary". It was a very strange listen. |

BBC WM
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE Qualifying Play-Off 1st Leg Rapid Vienna v Aston Villa Studio Host: Mark Reagan Commentary from Jack Woodward (AVFC website) and Dan Wheeler (BBC WM) No commentary on BRMB / Gold Birmingham or Aston FM. Just for completeness, it was Dan Wheeler (as commentator) and Jack Woodward (as summariser) out in Vienna for people interested in their respective roles. I appreciate the details from the commercial stations - I tuned in to BRMB for a short while but didn't hear a reporter so was wondering if they'd given it a miss. Didn't hear any of The Sports Bar on Gold, did Tom Ross touch upon the match I wonder? The first half was taking place while he would have been on air. Out of interest JamSir (or anyone else) - do you have any details of WM/BRMB's coverage of Birmingham City v Portsmouth last night? I imagine Tom Ross and Jon McCarthy would have been the BRMB commentary team, but have no clue who was there for WM. |

Danny Kelly presenting Kick-Off alongside Darren Gough UEFA Europa League Qualifying Play-Offs first leg Dinamo Zagreb v Hearts - Mark Donaldson Everton v Sigma Olomouc - Simon Humphreys Fulham v Amkar Perm - Mike Bovill Rapid Vienna v Aston Villa - Nigel Pearson Steaua Bucuresti v St Patricks Athletic - Richard Sadlier Richard Sadlier is the CEO of St Patricks Athletic. Believe it or not, he was actually reporting (as in filing in-progress updates) on the match as well as being an over the phone interview guest for Danny Kelly. A nice coup for talkSPORT there. |

Former Setanta Sports News presenter Rachel Brookes is reading the news on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on talkSPORT this morning.
Rachel was the weekday morning sports newsreader on talkSPORT in 2006, before moving onto Sky Sports News as a cricket reporter and then Setanta Sports News as one of their main afternoon presenters. I wonder if they'll call upon her as a sports reporter. talkSPORT probably has the broadest team of football reporters on the radio, with correspondents based in almost every region of the country, but one area where they don't have a reporter is Rachel's native South Coast. |

Does anyone know who the 5Live Reporters were last night on the Europa League Qualifying Matches and who they had commentary on, if at all? Many thanks.

Caught about five minutes of this, and was hoping you could shed some light on what was going on.
During the passage of play I caught (early in the second half) the commentators, rather than talk about the match, instead read out the text messages and e-mails, gave out the station's contact details, played commentary of a goal from the Huddersfield game, updated the other scores and generally chatted about other things. Not once did I hear them actually commentate on the action in front of them. I didn't stick around to work out what was going on but did Radio Leeds not have accreditation to do commentary on this match? I notice you typed "coverage" rather than "commentary". It was a very strange listen. This season, along with the Pulse, they lost the rights to Bradford City's home matches in the league, League Cup and JP Trophy, but can still commentate on away matches in those competitions, home matches in the League Cup and JP Trophy against Huddersfield Town, and FACup and Play-off matches. Before the Leeds United commentary rights were lost, there was commentary on their matches on FM. Huddersfield and Bradford shared 774 AM, with one team getting extended commentary on DAB. Since the rights losses, Radio Leeds has broadcast reports on Leeds United's matches on 103.9 FM and online when Huddersfield Town and Bradford City were playing. Last season and this season when Bradford are away, Huddersfield Town's matches are on 92.4, 95.3 and 102.7 FM, while Bradford are on 774 AM and DAB. Between the reports, the commentary team has discussed other matters (including matters relevant to the club) and read texts. This is easier when Leeds are away from home, as Leeds United have not allowed Radio Leeds to broadcast live from the ground except for the in-match reports. This means somebody in the studio has to talk for 45 minutes per half, only broken up by reports and any other sports-related audio he can insert into the programme. Andy Ritchie and Adam Pope are live in the Peacock pub before and after home matches, and Adam Pope has had to go there to do the half-time report. As a result of losing home commentary rights for Bradford City, when Bradford are at home, 774 AM and DAB broadcast build-up to the match. Meanwhile, the build-up to Leeds and Huddersfield is on FM and online. From 5-10 minutes before the matches begin, 774 AM and DAB join the 103.9 coverage, which consists of reports on Leeds United and Bradford City's matches, plus texts and discussion of other matters (including matters relevant to the clubs), but not commentary. This is the right solution, because 103.9 FM can only be heard in West Leeds and Pudsey, whereas 774 can be heard in most of West Yorkshire, especially in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and North Kirklees (Dewsbury and Batley). Huddersfield Town inserts are only added to this coverage to fill time. The Huddersfield Town commentary is unaffected on 92.4, 95.3 and 102.7 FM, though sometimes Paul Ogdon will provide some quick report during the commentary for the benefit of 103.9 FM listeners. I wasn't listening to the radio due to being at Huddersfield Town's match on Tuesday, except at half-time before and after the match. I noticed that Pulse Sport ended by 10 PM, where as West Yorkshire Sport on Radio Leeds finished by 10:30. I am at home this Saturday, and will post details on the coverage of teams in West Yorkshire, including whether the Pulse and Pennine FM have reporters at the Huddersfield Town match against Bristol Rovers. Bradford City are away so they will be on the Pulse and on Radio Leeds AM/DAB. |

It's doubtful I'll be able to do the talkSPORT details for today.
