I listened to a bit of Radio Wales' AM output online yesterday, which was the Biarritz-Dragons game in the Heineken Cup, and at half-time in that studio host Rob Phillips crossed to about five minutes of the Cardiff City game where IGH and Kevin Ratcliffe were announced as (and definitely were) the commentary team.
There's a chance Andy Campbell may have been a guest pundit as part of a separate presenting team on the FM coverage, although with the football and rugby taking place around the same time but with different kick-offs, it would make sense that Rob was doing the links on both the FM and AM output.

Ian (or anyone else who knows), what's the current situation when it comes to the radio football coverage in London these days? Are BBC London the only player left in the market since Capital, Smooth and talkSPORT all pulled out of their regional commentaries?
I find it quite surprising that it doesn't appear a London station did commentary on Liverpool v Arsenal yesterday. Do any ILR station(s) in the capital hold commentary rights to Arsenal instead of BBC London?
Also, will anybody be doing commentary on FC Basel v Fulham on Wednesday? With the game being on ESPN I'd be keen to listen - ideally BBC London will be there, and their commentary could be put on Sports Extra between the end of the cricket and the evening Premier League game.

The relevant games will be West Brom v QPR (commentary on Beacon and Gold 1152AM, reports only on BBC WM) tomorrow night; and then on Tuesday it's Birmingham v Blackburn (commentary on Gold 1152AM and WM on DAB in Birmingham), Manchester United v Wolves (Beacon and WM on DAB in Wolverhampton) and Sunderland v Aston Villa (BRMB and WM on FM).
If someone could fill in for me it would be very much appreciated.

Bump! Any takers?
I'll *probably* be OK to get the WM details via the IPlayer, although if someone could listen in for the Orion details it would be very helpful (for the Tuesday games, the best point to listen is from just after 7pm - as on all three stations Tom Ross goes around the grounds to get the team news and speak to the summarisers once he's finished his opening link).
