Ospreys v Scarlets (Guinness Pro12)
BBC Radio Wales - Catrin Heledd host from (the) Liberty Stadium, with Nick Webb and Garin Jenkins doing commentary (All frequencies / Online) BBC Radio Cymru - Huw Llewellyn Davies (also host) and Emyr Lewis (commentary) It was the Welsh Grand National from Chepstow today, but there was no commentary on either Radio Wales or Cymru at the time of the start of the race (about 2.40pm-ish). I've been checking on and off if there were any reports heard during any news updates on the hour to see if anyone was there for either station, to no avail. I've just heard John Hunt's commentary used for when Radio Wales do its 'Sports round-up' at half times of games. |

Christmas Day - ESPN Radio
John Brickley presented The NBA on ESPN Radio from the Bristol, Connecticut studios National Basketball Association Oklahoma City Thunder @ San Antonio Spurs - Marc Kestecher and Bruce Bowen (7.30pm GMT commentary) Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat - Kevin Calabro and P.J. Carlesimo, with Marc Stein as courtside reporter (10pm GMT commentary) Changing tact, I've not posted in this thread since he left this message, but although I didn't reply to it I wanted to let Swansea Steve know I enjoyed reading his considered thoughts on talkSPORT's latest foray into boxing coverage. |

(commentary) I've actually been holding fire on posting the full details from the series as I've not been able to have a lengthy listen to their coverage yet, but am planning to have a proper listen tonight. |

I think you are right about Erv McSweeney because it did sound as though he was called Merv or Herb - I found it difficult to differentiate. The summarisers seem to do each session as 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 30 minutes. I am pretty certain (judging from the first session today) that RSNZ are only using three commentators.

Some news from the NFL today, 5 Live will once again broadcast the Superbowl. Darren Fletcher and Rocky Boiman will call the match. 2 weeks earlier they will call the AFC Championship match on Sports Extra, with the NFC title match preceding it.

I take it the colour change is not enough to attract you back to the Cardiff City Stadium, but you welcome the move? |

For more, I'd suggest you read this from the Western Mail's Chris Wathan (the only person from that paper or the South Wales Echo who was against the rebrand from the start) I wouldn't listen to anyone saying that it was down to Vincent Tan's mother who convinced him to go back on his move! There's another journalist locally who summed it up perfectly on his Twitter account on Thursday suggesting:- Quote:

'I'll put up with red in PL, but not in Championship' mentality. From many. That and the fact that I don't think it was really viable anymore for Tan to suggest red was 'lucky' for a team in freefall.

For the first test in Christchurch it was Waddle, Jordan, Garth Galloway (son of legendary NZ commentator Iain Galloway) and Paul Routledge (commentator in Christchurch for many years , but his first test commentary). Summarisers were Chris Harris and Rod Latham, whose son Tom was opening the batting for NZ (with Hamish Rutherford, whose father Ken was commentating on TV). |
