On Tuesday, Jim Proudfoot and Clive Allen will be talkSPORT's commentary team at Milton Keynes Dons v Manchester United in the Capital One Cup.

There's a really good article about BBC Local Radio commentaries on the BBC Blogs website, which is written by Charles Runcie, Head of Sport for the BBC English Regions: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/abouttheb...the-local-guys

Among the stations and commentators that get a mention are Ed Dawes, Owen Bradley and Craig Ramage from BBC Radio Derby, BBC Radio York newcomer Tim Steere, BBC Radio Nottingham's long-serving Colin Slater, BBC Radio Manchester's Ian Cheeseman, Jack Dearden, Fred Eyre and Shaun Goater, "Sir" Gordon Sparks of BBC Radio Devon, BBC Hereford & Worcester's Steve Miller and Ian Stringer from BBC Radio Leicester. It's a nice little insight into life as a local radio football broadcaster and is well worth a read.

Friday 22nd August - talkSPORT Live and Bundesliga English

Bundesliga
Bayern Munchen v VfL Wolfsburg - Tom Rennie

The new Bundesliga season starts tonight and fans of German club football may want to add the Bundesliga English audio channel as one of their TuneIn favourites: http://tunein.com/radio/Bundesliga-English-s205123/

It looks as if the level of coverage the Bundesliga's English language international feed audio service is providing this season will be expanded upon what we got when it was launched during the second half of last season. Back then, Bundesliga English would provide two commentaries per matchround - typically a simulcast of the television world feed from the Friday night game and then a radio-style commentary produced by the talkSPORT Live international feed on either the Saturday 5.30pm UK time game or one of the two Sunday games.

This season, it looks as if all four of the weekend's fixtures from the Bundesliga's standalone timeslots will be covered by Bundesliga English, with tonight's commentary being done by talkSPORT Live's English language editor Tom Rennie. talkSPORT Live's regular Bundesliga commentator last season, Kevin Hatchard, has tweeted that he'll be commentating on Borussia Dortmund v Bayer Leverkusen in the late game on Saturday and Borussia Monchengladbach v VfB Stuttgart in the late game on Sunday. Paderborn v Mainz in Sunday's early Bundesliga game is also listed as a commentary, it'll be interesting to find out if that is a talkSPORT Live in-house job or if they'll be simulcasting the TV world feed.

It's probably worth me pointing out that while talkSPORT Live's audio commentaries on Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup games are geoblocked in the UK and Republic of Ireland, there's no such restrictions on their Bundesliga coverage - I believe they are even available in Germany! Speaking of talkSPORT Live's Premier League coverage, there's due to be co-commentary debuts on that service over the weekend for Danny Higginbotham, Fabrice Muamba and the former Arsenal, Walsall and Wales full-back Rhys Weston. Tottenham Hotspur v Queens Park Rangers will be their featured 1.30pm Sunday commentary, while Chelsea v Leicester City is their pick of the Saturday 3pm games.

BBC Surrey

Aldershot Town v Forest Green Rovers

Gavin Dennison and Rob Worral (Online commentary)

Thanks for this, this is brilliant. Didn't even realise this existed.

I have never been a massive follower of the Bundesliga but recently spent the weekend in Düsseldorf and Gelsenkirchen watching Newcastle in the Schalke Cup pre season tournament and have suddenly found myself interested in the Bundesliga 1 & 2. Naturally I have decided I should be a Schalke supporter (they got beat off a 3. liga team in the German cup on Monday just gone so its just like supporting the Toon really, nothing but disappointment, so perfect team for me to be homest).

I don't have BT Sport or Sky but although I do regularly use those online streams for matches, I often enjoy radio commentary as well instead especially when I'm happily reading, doing stuff around the house or when I'm out and about etc etc, so this service will definitely get some use! Great find!

No ABB either I don't think

After a busy summer for all involved, it's understandable some are having a break

No problem - glad to bring the Bundesliga English audio service to your attention. Happy listening!

Going by what I heard of last night's commentary, it appears as if talkSPORT Live will be only producing commentaries on Dortmund v Leverkusen and Gladbach v Stuttgart, ergo the commentary on Paderborn v Mainz should be a simulcast of the TV world feed.

BBC RADIO LEICESTER

PREMIER LEAGUE
Chelsea v Leicester City – Jason Bourne presenting from Stamford Bridge, with Ian Stringer and Matt Elliott (15:00 commentary)

I think Clyde 2 had commentary from Inverness v Celtic, which I'd assume was Tom Miller and Ian McCall. But it's tricky for me to get these details when I'm at away games. Perhaps I need to invest in a radio that can record...

Just to note that, as per last Sunday's Liverpool v Southampton game, Graham Beecroft wasn't on pitchside reporting duty for talkSPORT during the commentary itself but he was tasked with conducting the post-match interviews for the station. Alvin Martin co-hosted Call Collymore with Sam Matterface between 7.30-9pm.

Jake Katborg reported on Everton v Arsenal for Today FM, while their sister station Newstalk didn't carry any of IRN's updates from the late game.

Hull City - commentary - Matt Dean, David Burns and Peter Swan

MOTD used JAG reading out the scores last night at the end to reflect yesterday's fixtures. Lovely touch.
