An interesting development. It seems as if this programme has been a while in the making as Gareth A. Davies has been presenting a half-hour podcast-style boxing show which has been available on talkSPORT.co.uk and broadcast during overnight show Extra Time for a few months now. Getting Richie Woodhall, a boxing co-commentator on Radio 5 Live and a variety of TV channels who for my money is one of the best sports analysts around, involved in this show is a bit of a coup.
I guess this is only in the schedule because there isn't a Saturday 5.30pm Premier League commentary this weekend, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, Full Contact was first broadcast on Saturday evenings but only when there was no live football for the first few years of its run and it has gone on not only to win a permanent weekly slot but has become a real success story for the station. Personally I'd much prefer it if they broadcast a magazine programme like this - be it Fight Club, Full Contact or The Transfer Tavern around football's transfer windows - in the Saturday 7-9pm slot whenever there's no live game rather than a secondary weekend edition of My Sporting Life. As much as I enjoy MSL (it was robbed at the Sony Awards!), I don't think they should broadcast two shows per weekend as it tends to mean that the Sunday version doesn't get trailed that much and people who don't keep a close track of the station might not hear that the Saturday edition has been scheduled. Doing something new and different in this slot is a much better move in my opinion. |

Sunday 9th December - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Tony Husband and Aki Jones (in London) American Football: NFL Week 14 Miami Dolphins @ San Francisco 49ers - Ted Robinson and Eric Davis (commentary provided by KNBR - "The US Bank 49ers Radio Network") On TV, Mark Chapman and Mike Carlson presented the BBC Red Button's coverage of the Houston Texans @ New England Patriots in ESPN's Monday Night Football. Switching North American sports, last night ESPN Radio broadcast their first live commentary from the National Basketball Association since the death of their long-time NBA commentator Jim Durham (ESPN Radio tends to focus their live sports coverage on college football at this time of year, with few NBA commentaries between Opening Night and Christmas Night). Kevin Calabro and Dr. Jack Ramsay commentated on the Los Angeles Lakers @ New York Knicks from Madison Square Garden, with Marc Kestecher presenting from the studio. |

I've been listening to the Fight Club show on talkSPORT this evening and have found it a very enjoyable listen. They've been able to land an impressive number of big name interviews (Carl Froch, Frank Warren, David Haye, Nassem Hamed and Chris Eubank are among those they've spoken to) and while that have previewed tonight's fights - they seem to have a tie-in with BoxNation as they used a few of their commentary clips in the intro - in the main it has been a retrospective on the year in boxing. As such it's not the kind of show you could see them airing every week, but it's certainly something I'd like to hear once every so often when there's no Saturday night game. |

Sunday 16th December - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Darren Fletcher (in London) American Football: NFL Week 15 Pittsburgh Steelers @ Dallas Cowboys - Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg, with Kristi Scales on the sidelines (9.25pm GMT commentary provided by 105.3 The Fan - "The Dallas Cowboys Radio Network") On TV, Darren Fletcher and Aki Jones presented the BBC Red Button's coverage of the New York Jets @ Tennessee Titans, the final Monday Night Football game of the season with them taking ESPN's TV commentary and coverage as per usual. However, this was not BBC TV's last live NFL game of 2012, as they'll be providing live coverage of the Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions game on Saturday night (Sunday morning our time) as it comes under ESPN USA's MNF package. 5LSE's live game on Sunday will be the New York Giants @ Baltimore Ravens game at 9.25pm. |

Sunday 23rd December - BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
5 Live NFL with Greg Brady (in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) American Football: NFL Week 16 New York Giants @ Baltimore Ravens - Gerry Sandusky, Qadry Ismail and Stan White (9.25pm GMT commentary provided by WBAL 1090 AM - "The Ravens Gameday Radio Network") On TV, Darren Fletcher and Rocky Boiman presented the BBC Red Button's coverage of the Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions on Saturday, which was their last live game under the ESPN Monday Night Football package. The next live NFL action on BBC TV will be the Super Bowl. During Sunday night's game, Greg Brady mentioned that they'll be broadcasting double headers throughout the playoffs, which I imagine will include live commentary on both Championship games. Save for the weekend of the Wembley game, they've not done a double header this season which I guess may have been a commitment that made way in light of their commitment to Monday Night Football on TV. This Sunday's game hasn't been confirmed yet but it will almost certainly be the Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings match at 9.25pm our time. |

Christmas Day - ESPN Radio
Marc Kestecher presented an NBA Doubleheader on ESPN Radio from the Bristol, Connecticut studios National Basketball Association New York Knicks @ Los Angeles Lakers - Dave Flemming and Will Perdue (8pm GMT commentary) Oklahoma City Thunder @ Miami Heat - Kevin Calabro and Dr. Jack Ramsay (10pm GMT commentary) You might recognise Dave Flemming as one of the commentators from the San Francisco Giants Radio Network in Major League Baseball, where he works with ESPN's former long-time lead baseball announcer Jon Miller, who did Sunday Night Baseball on TV and the MLB Playoffs on radio. It's the first time I've heard Flemming on ESPN Radio. |

Some sad news to report - former England cricket captain and cricket commentator Tony Greig has died from a heart attack at the age of 66. He had been diagnosed with lung cancer two months ago.
Although Greigy was best known for his TV commentary work, primarily for Australia's Channel Nine, he spent a few years commentating on British radio for talkSPORT during the end of their spell holding the rights to England's winter cricket tours, reporting on the 2002/03 Ashes series for them before establishing himself as a robust presence on commentary during their highly-regarded coverage of England's tour to the West Indies in 2003/04. Very sad to hear of his passing, although his playing career was before my time I enjoyed listening to his commentary work, particularly when he was paired with his long-time colleague and friend Mark Nicholas. |

Great work on gathering up all of those international radio details Ian, particularly the Radio 2000 cricket commentary team. Whenever I have listened to their coverage before I have never managed to take note of their entire team, given the large number of commentators they use and how they rarely properly namecheck each other. Good effort! Quote:
PDC World Darts Championship Quarter Finals, London
IRN via BFBS Radio - Dan Dawson I know we all tend to group syndicated sports reports that are heard on numerous stations across the nation into the IRN bracket, but that isn't strictly correct as these updates are in turn being supplied to them via these agencies: World Sports Communications - Premier League football, FA Cup and select England internationals (although judging by reporter choice Sky News Radio have a hand in these) and England home cricket internationals. Talking Rugby - rugby union: Six Nations, Autumn Internationals, England's summer tours, Heineken Cup, Amlin Challenge Cup, Aviva Premiership and the LV= Cup; occasional rugby league updates. DLI Radio Sport - various LTA tennis events including Wimbledon plus the other Grand Slams, PDC darts and World Snooker tournaments including both World Championships, PGA Tour golf events, major horse racing meetings including The Grand National and The Derby, Badminton England events, various squash tournaments and The Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race. |
