As for the original tie, BBC Oxford and Northampton joined forces for this match. Mike Minay is certainly out of region tonight as he is a Doncaster Rovers commentator for BBC Radio Sheffield.

With their Full Time Phone-In shifting forward two and a half hours due to there being no 5.30pm commentary on talkSPORT next Saturday, leaving a gap in their evening schedule, I wonder if they might consider putting commentary on the Madrid derby onto the main talkSPORT in the vacant timeslot? Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid is a 7.45pm kick-off that night. Usually they would put their live La Liga coverage on talkSPORT 2, but that station is covering the ATP World Tour Finals tennis from the O2 Arena all this week and matches are set to take place on Saturday evening. So to me it would make sense to retain coverage of the business end of the tennis tournament on talkSPORT 2 and move the Madrid derby onto talkSPORT given the gap in the schedule. Currently, a repeat of the Gary Neville documentary Guillem Balague did for them a little while ago is listed for 8-10pm next Saturday, but I'm sure that and the final hour of a longer-than-usual three-hour phone-in can easily be bumped.
The Madrid derby will be on talkSPORT 2 after all, with coverage scheduled to run between 7-10pm. It's the only La Liga game that will be on talkSPORT 2 this weekend, what with coverage of the ATP World Tour Finals final being prioritised on Sunday between 6-9pm. Barcelona are playing at 3.15pm on Saturday, while they are covering Leicester Tigers v Harlequins on Sunday afternoon preventing them from doing commentary on Valencia v Granada.

talkSPORT 2's coverage of the semi-finals from the ATP World Tour Finals tomorrow looks quite odd - they've provided full live commentary on every game from the group stage, yet Andy Murray's semi-final begins at 2pm and so will clash with their Crystal Palace v Manchester City commentary - but they may have commentary on the first set. They've then got an ATP World Tour Finals show pencilled in for 5-7pm (which according to Andrew McKenna on tonight's coverage will include coverage of Jamie Murray's doubles semi-final, a 6pm start), but no commentary on the second semi-final, which begins at 8pm, due to the Madrid derby. Perhaps they might have updates and pick up the conclusion of the match should it go beyond full-time in Madrid.

Not sure why talkRADIO (which has a pretty bland schedule on Saturdays) or an additional webstream can't come into play on days when talkSPORT 2 has more than one live sporting event taking place at the same time, or indeed talkSPORT in the case of the Madrid derby given that there is a hole in their schedule due to the lack of a Saturday 5.30pm Premier League commentary.

Saturday 19th November - talkSPORT

Adrian Durham presenting Matchday Live from St Mary's Stadium with Ray Wilkins at Vicarage Road, followed by The Full Time Phone-In hosted by Danny Kelly with Stuart Pearce at Selhurst Park

Rugby Union: Autumn International
England v Fiji - Russell Hargreaves
Wales v Japan - Hamish Stuart
During The Full Time Phone-In with Danny Kelly and Stuart Pearce, talkSPORT also took updates on the two later rugby union internationals:

Rugby Union: Autumn International
Scotland v Argentina - Stuart Cameron
Ireland v New Zealand - David Brady

They didn't take updates on Andy Murray's match from the ATP World Tour Finals though, as they did on his final group stage game on Friday.

talkSPORT 2

Ian Danter presenting Matchday Live 2 from Selhurst Park

Premier League
Crystal Palace v Manchester City - Sam Matterface and Stuart Pearce (3pm commentary), with James Dodd producing

Tennis: ATP World Tour Finals Singles Semi-Final
Andy Murray v Milos Raonic - Rupert Bell and Pete Odgers (2pm partial commentary)

talkSPORT 2 only took commentary on the opening part of the first set before breaking away to begin their Premier League coverage at around 2.45pm.
Richard Evans joined Rupert Bell for commentary on the bulk of the final set in the Murray v Raonic epic at the conclusion of Crystal Palace v Manchester City, with Bell and Evans also commentating on the end of the Novak Djokovic v Kei Nishikori semi-final once the Madrid derby had finished.

In between, they had commentary on the men's doubles semi-final pitting Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares against Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram. I'm not sure how much of that match they took (whether they stayed with it until right before kick-off in Madrid or finished their coverage at 7.30pm as scheduled), but I imagine Pete Odgers will have rejoined Bell and/or Evans for commentary.
