I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Radio stations in England (and, to a lesser extent, Wales) have a national and local approach. With tonight's match, there is national coverage plus local coverage (BBC Radio Merseyside and City Talk for the Liverpool area and BBC Radio WM and Free Radio 80s for the Birmingham area).
In Scotland, it is possible to have two commentary teams for the Scottish Premiership (one being BBC Radio Scotland and one being the appropriate Bauer radio station or Central FM in the Falkirk area). Again, this is a national and local approach. Quote:
I'm surprised BBC Scotland haven't had to reduce their commentary teams like 5Live!
Apologies for any confusion. |

Sunday 18th January - talkSPORT
As for the FA Cup, Saggers has just trailed their commentaries on the five UK-wide live TV games - but didn't mention Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City, the early Saturday BBC Wales game. The online schedules are yet to be updated, so the only personnel detail I know is that as talkSPORT's resident U Saggers will rightly be presenting their coverage of Cambridge United v Manchester United on Friday night. That and, as mentioned during Matchday Live yesterday, that Adrian Durham and Ian Danter will be leading their Saturday afternoon Fourth Round coverage from Birmingham City v West Bromwich Albion - which suggests they'll be doing Around the Grounds instead of a featured commentary game at 3pm, as they did on Third Round Saturday. Liverpool v Bolton - Sam Matterface and Ray Houghton Bristol City v West Ham - Andrew McKenna and Alvin Martin Brighton v Arsenal - Jim Proudfoot and Ray Parlour* Rochdale v Stoke - Jim Proudfoot and Stan Collymore *I think.. Chelsea v Liverpool - Sam Matterface and Danny Murphy Sheffield United v Tottenham - Jim Proudfoot and Danny Higginbotham |

Mark Saggers will be presenting from Cambridge United, Bristol City, Rochdale and all four League Cup Semi-Final legs, with Ian Danter hosting the second portion of Sunday Exclusive from the Amex Stadium, where he'll also be hosting Call Collymore alongside Ray Parlour between 6-8pm (meaning no Press Pass with Full Contact airing in its normal timeslot). |

I thought Alan Green might have returned either Sunday at Man City or tonight?
If he was back this weekend, he might be at Blackburn, Liverpool or Rochdale. My bet would be Liverpool if he is back |

It's notable that talkSPORT have split their FA Cup Third Round ties, Third Round Replays, League Cup Semi-Finals and seemingly their FA Cup Fourth Round ties very evenly between Sam and Jim - it'll be interesting to find out who gets to commentate on the final of each competition for them.
Additionally, trailers have confirmed that it will be the normal Saturday schedule this weekend, with The Warm Up airing prior to Matchday Live starting at its usual time of 1pm, rather than beginning earlier to include Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers commentary, with Around the Grounds from 3pm. On the second point is there obvious reason for them not to do commentary on Blackburn v Swansea? On paper it fits the favoured Cup criteria of lower league team at home to Premier League and the fact its not on TV surely makes it more attractive. Finally news today that Mark Pougatch joins ITV to present Champions League and internationals. Jonathan Wall has tweeted that he will continue to host Saturdays for 5 Live but he will need replacing for some midweeks. Hopefully Mark Chapman will take over CL and England. A way off i know but looking forward to Euro 2016 I wonder who 5 Lives main presenter will be if Pougatch is with ITV and Chapman MOTD. Jonathan Overend seems to be the next football host but I don't think he's anywhere near the standard of the 2 Marks. Maybe they look elsewhere, maybe even a direct swap and have Chile's on 5 Live Sport? Or Matt Smith? |

On the first point talkSPORT could have a very good Super Sunday on League Cup Final day if Chelsea go through. That would give them a triple bill of Liverpool v City, Arsenal v Everton then the final. In that scenario I'd guess Sam at Anfield as the main PL commentator and Jim at Wembley.
Given how talkSPORT seem to be equally dividing out their domestic cup ties between Jim and Sam at the moment, if Jim was to get the League Cup Final then I could see Sam getting the FA Cup Final, given that there's no guarantee they'll be doing either the Champions League or Europa League Final. It'll also be interesting to see which co-commentators they use on League Cup Final day - Stan Collymore hasn't done a single League Cup commentary so far this season, but in past years I'm sure he's co-commentated on the final despite having no involvement in their coverage of the competition prior to then.

Personally I think it's a poor scheduling call, I would have like to have seen them cover Blackburn v Swansea - like you I think it looks like a very appealing game on paper and that not everyone will be able to watch it on TV gives them that bit more reason for covering it. While I'm all in favour of them doing Around the Grounds rather than a commentary at 3pm tomorrow - it's understandable that they'd want to stick with the format they use on a weekly basis, which is a big USP for them - they could have easily tinkered with their schedule to accommodate commentary on the early game while retaining The Warm Up, maybe by curtailing it by half an hour to end at 12.30pm or moving it forward an hour to 10am-midday by shaving an hour off the Weekend Sports Breakfast.

Thought a few of you would be interesting in hearing this clip. Last night on talkSPORT's Sports Bar show, prior to an interview with Lee Sharpe reflecting on the 20th anniversary of Eric Cantona's infamous kung fu kick at a Crystal Palace supporter at Selhurst Park, they played Jonathan Pearce's commentary on the incident for Capital Gold.
To hear the commentary, go here - http://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1421964000# - then click the 23:30-00:00 tab and go to 02 minutes 35 seconds in. Obviously with talkSPORT's parent company UTV Radio being a competitor to Global Radio (owners of most of the stations that were Capital Gold), I was surprised to hear Pearce's commentary being used - talkSPORT and The Sports Bar in particular, which has a nightly quiz that uses commentary clips, use a lot of archive commentaries from all three major UK TV football broadcasters and as such I'd have expected them to use the more famous one from Clive Tyldesley for Match of the Day. But it's interesting to listen to an example of Pearce from his mid-90s radio heyday and the sort of outspoken commentary that gained him such a reputation prior to his arrival on Channel 5. |

Thanks for posting that! Fairly sure I would have been listening on the night but great to hear it again. I used to love it when Pearce went mental and all his little sayings. "Ready, Steady, Teddy..." as Sheringham stepped up to take a penalty was a particular favourite of mine. Capital Gold really had a top team at that time.

Saturday 24th January - talkSPORT
Adrian Durham presenting Matchday Live FA Cup Special from St Andrew's with Ray Parlour at Stamford Bridge and Danny Higginbotham at the Etihad Stadium, followed by Call Collymore with Sam Matterface and Ray Houghton from Anfield FA Cup Fourth Round Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City - Simon Humphreys Birmingham City v West Bromwich Albion - Ian Danter and Adrian Durham Cardiff City v Reading - Dave Rowe Chelsea v Bradford City - Ian Abrahams and Ray Parlour Derby County v Chesterfield - Nigel Pearson Manchester City v Middlesbrough - Dom McGuinness and Danny Higginbotham Preston North End v Sheffield United - Jack Woodward Southampton v Crystal Palace - Alex Crook Sunderland v Fulham - Graham Courtney Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Tony Incenzo Liverpool v Bolton Wanderers - Sam Matterface and Ray Houghton (5.30pm commentary), with Graham Beecroft at pitchside Rugby Union: European Rugby Champions Cup Pool Two Wasps v Leinster - Nick Heath Rugby Union: European Rugby Champions Cup Pool Five Northampton Saints v Racing Metro - Russell Hargreaves The talkSPORT commentary teams for tomorrow as posted by 4-4-2 in message #1254 have subsequently been confirmed on-air. Just wanted to add how much I enjoyed talkSPORT's coverage of Cambridge United v Manchester United last night. I watched the game with the TV commentary on mute while listening and really enjoyed Sam Matterface and Matt Holland's commentary and particularly the presentation from Mark Saggers. It was really nice to hear Saggers going back to his roots, catching up with old friends in the build-up and getting the chance to cover the team he supports on one of their biggest nights for quite a while. He did a great job and managed to stay relatively neutral! If anyone who caught talkSPORT's Football League show Up The League this morning was wondering who the George interviewing Port Vale manager Rob Page and his Crewe counterpart Steve Davis was, it was Signal 2's Stoke City commentator George Andrews. He's currently reporting on the Port Vale v Crewe Alexandra derby for Signal 2's Saturday Sport with Andy Jones and Jonty Sargeant in the absence of a Stoke City commentary. |
