Friday 15th January - talkSPORT

Matt Holland presented Kick Off: The Player's Lounge alongside Don Hutchison

Championship
Brentford v Burnley - Ian Abrahams

Cricket: Third Test Match
South Africa v England - Jon Norman

Today's details to come, but just to note that Jon Norman also covered Thursday's first day of the Third Test. talkSPORT's live FA Cup Third Round Replay commentaries this week will be Aston Villa v Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday and Liverpool v Exeter City on Wednesday - the sensible choices in my opinion.

BBC Radio Leeds
Sheffield Wednesday versus Leeds United - Katherine Hannah, Adam Pope and Noel Whelan
Huddersfield Town versus Fulham - also on the official Huddersfield Town website, pre-match not on FM and Freeview - Gareth Jones, Paul Ogden and Kieran O'Regan
Bradford City versus Oldham Athletic - reporter - Dave Fletcher

Pulse 1, Pulse 2* and official Bradford City website
Bradford City versus Oldham Athletic - Jason Thornton and Ian Ormondroyd

Notes
*According to Pulse 2’s jingles, the station has exclusive commentary of “every” Bradford City match. Pulse 1’s jingles say the same about that station. When Pulse Sport acquired exclusive Bradford City rights, they moved the coverage to Pulse 2 but quickly reversed that decision in response to complaints from listeners.

The last time Pulse 1 and Pulse 2 had sport on at the same time was in 2009, when Bradford City were away in the FA Cup at the same time as Huddersfield Town were at home. That night there were separate programmes on both stations. The last time Pulse 1 and Pulse 2 broadcast Pulse Sport together was on the final Sunday of the 1996-97 season when Pulse Sport provided commentary of every Huddersfield Town and Bradford City match. On that day, Chris Cooper commentated on Bradford City-s 3-0 victory on the Pulse and the team survived relegation. Peter Barlow commentated on Huddersfield Town’s 0-0 home draw against Swindon Town on West Yorkshire’s Classic Gold. During that season, the stations did broadcast the same match on Saturdayy afternoon, due to the match involving the other team being postponed. I think that was a Bradford City match. Generally during that season, if only one team was playing in midweek, Pulse Sport would not be on the Pulse, and if just one team was playing on the weekend, Pulse Sport would only be on the Pulse.

It would make sense if midweek matches were only on Pulse 2, or post-match coverage continued on Pulse 2 only after 22:00. I wonder if additional commentary rights have been acquired or there are plans to acquire additional commentary rights?

Going by Sam Matterface's Twitter, Graham Beecroft was also at Liverpool v Arsenal for talkSPORT on Wednesday night - presumably to conduct post-match interviews for them. Tom Ross mentioned on his Free Radio 80s phone-in last night that he'd be at Aston Villa v Leicester City today, so with Sam and Alvin hosting Call Collymore in the absence of Stan tonight, I'm guessing he'll be on post-match interview duty for them.

Throughout commentary, Mark was mentioning the wonderful views or places to visit if you wanted to go to York/North Yorkshire. So, if the North Yorkshire Tourism Board are looking for a voiceover guy...........

Leinster v Bath (Champions Cup Pool 5) (1730GMT) - Andrew Sheridan and Denis Hickie (104.6FM / 1548WM / Somerset DAB)

I *think* 1566MW took the Yeovil Town game, but not 100% sure. Somerset DAB did though, which was nice for a change, as usually it's only 95.5FM for commentary of the Cidermen.

5Live have gone for Wycombe/Villa and Liverpool/Exeter

Sports Extra will have Bolton/Eastleigh and Leicester/Spurs

I'd say Bristol City/WBA is unlucky not to have any national radio coverage although I know it's on BT. I think when there's a decent choice (and there is here) that it would be good if the two stations picked different games

Liverpool v Manchester United - Sam Matterface and Danny Higginbotham (2.05pm commentary), with Graham Beecroft at pitchside and James Dodd producing
Stoke City v Arsenal - Simon Humphreys

Rugby Union: European Rugby Challenge Cup Pool Three
Harlequins v Cardiff Blues - Russell Hargreaves

To confirm one of the details from yesterday, not only did Tom Ross conduct talkSPORT's post-match interviews at Aston Villa v Leicester City, he was also their pitchside reporter during the live commentary from Villa Park. Beeky did both the touchline and interview duties at Anfield for talkSPORT today.

I listened to much of talkSPORT's commentary on Liverpool v Manchester United today and I really enjoyed hearing Danny Higginbotham on such a big game - he's firmly among my favourite football pundits and has been for a while. Beyond Stan Collymore, talkSPORT has a really strong pool of co-commentators at the moment, what with Danny today, Alvin Martin yesterday and also the likes of Ray Houghton, Clive Allen, Stuart Pearce and Danny Murphy.
