I'll post the details of BBC WM's Speedway coverage from this week and next week here before we close the thread if that's okay?

Yes, I think it would be sensible if the details from sports that are concluding their 2015 season at the moment are posted on here rather than the new thread, including the speedway and this Saturday's Super League Grand Final. I also intend to post the US radio coverage details of Major League Baseball's Playoffs on here later in the autumn.

I'm now thinking I should have waited to this weekend before posting my monthly round-up of all of talkSPORT's non-football sports coverage in order to have included details of their coverage of the Super League Grand Final along with their reporters on the Super Eight stage of the competition. Never mind!

The legendary Dodgers TV and radio broadcaster Vin Scully sadly had to sit out the postseason due to ill heath. Physioc and Randazzo sat in for Matthews and Lewin respectively on the Royals and Mets radio broadcasts for selected matches during the Division Series round of the Playoffs.

Major League Baseball Postseason 2015, ESPN Radio (USA)

American League Wild Card Game

Houston Astros @ New York Yankees - Dave O'Brien and Aaron Boone, with Buster Olney and Tim Kurkjian (as ESPN TV) as field reporters

National League Wild Card Game

Chicago Cubs @ Pittsburgh Pirates - Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton, with Buster Olney as field reporter

American League Division Series

Texas Rangers v Toronto Blue Jays - Chris Berman (Games 1-2), Dave Flemming (Game 3-4), Dan Shulman (Game 5) and Rick Sutcliffe*

Houston Astros v Kansas City Royals - Dave O'Brien and John Kruk, with Britt McHenry as field reporter (Game 2 only)

National League Division Series

Chicago Cubs v St. Louis Cardinals - Dan Shulman and Aaron Boone, with Peter Pascarelli as Baseball Insider and Pedro Gomez as field reporter

New York Mets v Los Angeles Dodgers - Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton, with Buster Olney as field reporter**

American League Championship Series

Toronto Blue Jays v Kansas City Royals - Dan Shulman and Aaron Boone, with Peter Pascarelli as Baseball Insider and Britt McHenry as field reporter

National League Championship Series

Chicago Cubs v New York Mets - Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton, with Buster Olney as field reporter**

World Series

New York Mets v Kansas City Royals - Dan Shulman and Aaron Boone, with Peter Pascarelli as Baseball Insider, Chris Archer doing guest commentary stints (Games 1, 2 and 5), Buster Olney as field reporter and Chris Singleton as clubhouse reporter (Game 5 only)

ESPN Radio's Baseball Tonight pregame, ingame and postgame presenters from their Bristol, Connecticut studios during the postseason were Marc Kestecher, Kevin Winter, John Brickley and John Ryder, in that order of seniority. I think Ryder was only called upon during the Division Series round when there was four games in a single day.

Studio presentation for the World Series was split between Marc Kestecher (Games 1-3) and Kevin Winter (Games 4-5), with Chris Singleton and Peter Pascarelli providing pregame analysis from the field at Kauffman Stadium and Citi Field. Singleton also provided postgame analysis. Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer was used a guest colour commentator during the fourth inning of the three games stated above (he also stuck around for the top of the fifth during Game Two).

*Flemming was originally scheduled to call Game Five of the Rangers-Blue Jays series, but with the Cubs-Cardinals series ending after four games, they decided to send Toronto native Shulman to G5 instead.

**During the NLDS and NLCS that he covered, Buster Olney chipped into the commentary for analysis at the top of the fourth and seventh innings (the usual points they go for a studio-based Sportscenter updates) as well as at other points during the game as he does on ESPN TV's Sunday Night Baseball telecasts. During the World Series, Olney pitched in at the top of the seventh and, during the two games Chris Archer wasn't present at, the top of the fourth.
