From Charles Sale in the Daily Mail: Quote:
Five Live eye 2015 rights
BBC's Five Live, who lost out on the radio rights for next summer's British Lions rugby tour of Australia after TalkSport put three times more money on the table, are more hopeful of at least sharing coverage of the 2015 World Cup with their commercial rivals. Meanwhile, the future of Five Live controller Adrian van Klaveren is on the line after his involvement in clearing the false Newsnight report that wrongly implicated a senior Conservative in the North West child abuse scandal. Van Klaveren had been seconded from his Five Live position until December to BBC news management in the fall-out from the Jimmy Savile scandal. Insiders believe Van Klaveren will now be fortunate to return to his role after the Newsnight debacle. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/art...#ixzz2C5QY22gJ |

Sunday 11th October - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Greg Brady and Danielle Michaud (in Toronto, Ontario) American Football: NFL Week Ten Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles - Merrill Reese and Mike Quick (commentary provided by WENJ 97.3FM - "The Eagles Radio Network") Monday 12th October - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra and BBC Red Button (TV) 5 Live NFL with Darren Fletcher and Rocky Boiman (in London) American Football: NFL Week Ten Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers - Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden, with Lisa Salters on the sidelines (commentary provided by ESPN television) BBC TV have introduced a new set-up for their Red Button coverage of the NFL's Monday Night Football. Coverage is now being simulcast on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, with the 5 Live NFL studio coverage being introduced onto the Red Button during the breaks in play. From watching the Red Button's coverage back on the iPlayer, Darren and Rocky were on camera in a studio similar to the one Channel 4 and 5 have used for their coverage of American sports (albeit slightly more basic looking) doing the usual kind of studio inserts we hear on 5 Live NFL and indeed on those channel's NFL coverage. 5LSE simulcast their audio straight from the Red Button, including ESPN's television commentary rather opting for a radio feed as they usually would. It is the first time they have done this and made for an interesting listen. It is another good move by Radio 5 Live Sports Extra in my opinion. Next week Greg and Danielle will be back for the Sunday game, which will be the San Diego Chargers @ Denver Broncos at 9pm our time, with the Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers being the Monday Night Football which will once again be carried by 5LSE. |

Does anyone know the latest situation with CMJ? Would have been nice to hear him on the winter tour.
edit: I see he won't be returning to TMS. I can only wish him all the best in his battle with cancer. I also note that Sports Extra will be broadcasting some games from the Big Bash as part of a tie-up with ABC. |

Sunday 18th November - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Greg Brady and Danielle Michaud (in Toronto, Ontario) American Football: NFL Week 11 Indianapolis Colts @ New England Patriots - Gil Santos and Scott Zolak (9.25pm GMT commentary provided by 98.5 The Sports Hub - "The New England Patriots Radio Network") Monday 19th November - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra and BBC Red Button (TV) 5 Live NFL with Darren Fletcher and Rocky Boiman (in London)* American Football: NFL Week 11 Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers - Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden, with Lisa Salters on the sidelines (commentary provided by ESPN television) *At least that was the plan, the Red Button presentation (which was fine on TV) didn't carry over onto 5LSE from what I heard of their coverage (the broadcast has not been uploaded to the iPlayer, perhaps for this very reason), with us hearing ESPN's off-air audio feed from the commentary box during the American channel's commercial breaks rather than Darren and Rocky in the studio. Not that I'm complaining, hearing an off-air feed is always fun! |

RUGBY - IRN/Talking Rugby
Last Weekend - Similar to weekend before... Eng v Aus - Russell Hargreaves Primarily. Also updates too from Nick Heath. Sco v SA - Stuart Cameron (who also did updates specific to TD1 Radio). I imagine the same reporters for Wales/Ireland games? Stuart has told me he is off to Aberdeen on Saturday for Scotland-Tonga. |

Over on Irish radio, I'm not sure how RTE Radio covered Ireland v Fiji, but Newstalk 106-108FM had Liam Toland reporting on it while Ross Lindsay was there for Today FM. Tomorrow, Toland and Reggie Corrigan (who reported on Ireland v South Africa for them the weekend before last) are scheduled to cover Ireland v Argentina for Newstalk. Probably of more interest on this thread than on the talkSPORT Chat one - Bob Ballard will make his talkSPORT presenting debut this weekend when he hosts Extra Time with John Kreger between 12-6am on Sunday morning. |

It won't be his debut - he's presented Extra Time on at least one occasion already.

BBC Radio Five Live - Gareth Lewis (0-20) Jonny Saunders (20-40) and Robert Jones Possibly drifting a little off-topic here, but do you know why Gareth Lewis moved from Scrum V to Good Evening Wales? I've got to assume this must be because BBC Wales management view hosting the Radio Wales drive time programme as being more important than presenting their TV and radio coverage of regional rugby, as for my money Gar was a tremendous presenter on Scrum V, easily as good as any of the sports hosts on network BBC. |

I see 5 Live Sports Extra have live cricket commentary on the Big Bash League game between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars on Wednesday 12th.
I presume a direct feed from ABC Radio. |

Sunday 25th November - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Darren Fletcher (in London) American Football: NFL Week 12 San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints - Jim Henderson and Hokie Gajan, with Kristian Garic on the sidelines (9.25pm GMT commentary provided by WWL - "The Saints Radio Network") Sunday 2nd December - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra 5 Live NFL with Tony Husband (in London) American Football: NFL Week 13 Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens - Gerry Sandusky, Qadry Ismail and Stan White (9.25pm GMT commentary provided by WBAL 1090 AM - "The Baltimore Ravens Radio Network") On last weekend's game, the Ravens secondary co-commentator Stan White also doubled up as their sideline reporter, conducting interviews at half-time and full-time. Next Sunday's live game will be the San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins from 9pm, coverage to be presented by Tony Husband. As for Monday Night Football, it seems as if they are no longer simulcasting audio from the BBC Red Button coverage on 5LSE since the problems they experienced in Week 11. I can understand why they opted not to during Week 12, what with the scheduled Test cricket (albeit the Test Match finished a day early and so the platform was free that Monday), but there was no such excuse last night. For the record, Darren Fletcher presented Red Button coverage of the Carolina Panthers @ Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 alongside Aki Jones, while it was Darren and Rocky Boiman hosting coverage of the New York Giants @ Washington Redskins in Week 13. |
