That seems like a massive oversight, should treat the bank holiday games like normal Saturdays surely?

Because of the way the contact works it seems like they are limited to TV games.

However, it's bizarre that the BH 3pm games aren't included in the two Saturday 3pm packages. The only reason I can think of is that Sky could have shown a game today (and on Boxing Day) at 3pm, as BT did in the three seasons previous; had they done so, then Five Live would presumably have had commentary of it. It's a bit of a thin reason not to allow a 3pm commentary, though. Quote:
I don't entirely understand that. There are no TV games on Saturday afternoons and, if I remember rightly, BBC and talkSPORT have been known to broadcast the occasional game.
All other packages seem to be aligned with the TV packages, i.e. when a game isn't on Saturday 3pm (which includes Bank Holidays) it can only be on the radio if it's on TV. And the radio station it's on (Five Live or talkSPORT) depends on the TV package it was picked from. I'd assume the final day will be an exception (or treated as a Saturday for radio purposes). It's utterly confusing and is a step backwards from the previous deal which was based on time slots. |

Thanks bwcol. It sounded as if MC and ML were at Goodison from the way they were describing the action there. It makes sence that Ian Brown was the reporter there as he often reports from the Merseyside games.
I think Ian Brown is based in Wales |

Monday 2nd January - talkSPORT
Adrian Durham presented Matchday Live from the Stadium of Light with Danny Higginbotham at the Etihad Stadium and Danny Gabbidon at the Hawthorns, followed by The Full Time Phone-In with Sam Matterface and Danny Higginbotham from the Etihad Stadium Premier League Middlesbrough v Leicester City - Simon Humphreys Everton v Southampton - Graham Beecroft Manchester City v Burnley - Sam Matterface and Danny Higginbotham, with Dom McGuinness conducting post-match interviews and James Dodd producing Sunderland v Liverpool - Graham Courtney and Adrian Durham West Bromwich Albion v Hull City - Ian Abrahams and Danny Gabbidon West Ham United v Manchester United - Alex Crook Championship Birmingham City v Brentford - Geoff Peters Blackburn Rovers v Newcastle United - Nigel Pearson Bristol City v Reading - Laurence Mora Cardiff City v Aston Villa - Tom Ross Fulham v Brighton & Hove Albion - Jack Woodward Norwich City v Derby County - Dave Rowe Queens Park Rangers v Ipswich Town - Tony Incenzo Sheffield Wednesday v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Alan Biggs Darts: PDC World Championship Final 2017 Michael van Gerwen v Gary Anderson - Dan Dawson talkSPORT Live Premier League Middlesbrough v Leicester City - Richard Connelly and Adrian Clarke Everton v Southampton - Barry Swain Manchester City v Burnley - Adam Bridge and Clive Walker (featured 3pm commentary on international stations) Sunderland v Liverpool - Russell Hargreaves West Bromwich Albion v Hull City - Dan Wheeler West Ham United v Manchester United - Kevin Hatchard and Matthew Etherington Unlike the two UK talkSPORT stations, who have eight FA Cup Third Round commentaries between them, the talkSPORT Live service will only be doing two FA Cup commentaries over the weekend. These will be on Saturday's early and late games, Manchester United v Reading and Preston North End v Arsenal. Newstalk 106-108FM Joe Molloy presented Off The Ball Premier League (as IRN) Middlesbrough v Leicester City - Lee Stott Everton v Southampton - Paul Anthony Manchester City v Burnley - Peter Smith Sunderland v Liverpool - Al Ross West Bromwich Albion v Hull City - Clive Edwards West Ham United v Manchester United - Guy Swindells BBC WM 95.6 Paul Franks presented BBC WM 95.6 Sport from the Hawthorns Premier League West Bromwich Albion v Hull City - Rob Gurney and Paul Franks (3pm commentary on DAB in Birmingham) Championship Birmingham City v Brentford - Richard Wilford Cardiff City v Aston Villa - Mark Regan and Garry Thompson (3pm commentary on 95.6FM, also on AVFC.co.uk) Sheffield Wednesday v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Mike Taylor (3pm commentary on DAB in the Black Country) League One Walsall v Rochdale - Tom Marlow I'm not sure what the Freeview channel 722 game was, I'm guessing it was Cardiff City v Aston Villa given that this was the commentary the iPlayer feed took after the five minute countdown and before the rights restrictions kicked in. Interesting to hear that WM regular Steve Hermon was BBC Radio Manchester's reporter at Rochdale v Walsall. |

Monday 2nd January - Today FM
Philip Egan presented Premier League Live, joined by Mark Lawrenson between 2-3pm Premier League Middlesbrough v Leicester City - Roger Tames Everton v Southampton - Shane Pinnington Manchester City v Burnley - Mark Taylor Sunderland v Liverpool - Ian Beach and Brian Kerr (3pm commentary) West Bromwich Albion v Hull City - Alan Tolley West Ham United v Manchester United - Adam Lindsay I initially missed that Today FM had Premier League coverage scheduled yesterday - they haven't always covered Bank Holiday matchrounds in the past, but since the past contract these games have been split fairly even between themselves and sister station Newstalk, who had a 3pm commentary on Boxing Day and whose Premier League reports came during their usual weeknight evening programme yesterday. It's a bit ridiculous that the Republic of Ireland's Premier League radio rights deal is more flexible than the UK's one is in some respects - chiefly that it provides Today and Newstalk with the ability to broadcast non-televised games in timeslots outside of Saturdays at 3pm, including on Bank Holidays. Given how there is very little to no animosity between BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT these days, I think it would be in everyone's interest if they jointly approached the Premier League to attempt to come to a sensible arrangement that would allow both stations to, at the very least, broadcast non-televised 3pm commentaries on Bank Holidays as they have been able to under past contracts and as their Irish counterparts are still able to do under their current deals. |

Thursday 5th January - talkSPORT 2
Dan Windle presented Copa del Rey Live Copa del Rey Fifth Round First Leg Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona - Olly Wilson and Adrian Clarke (8.15pm commentary) It's the return of La Liga this weekend and talkSPORT 2 will have two live games in their usual weekend 7-10pm, 7.45pm kick-off, timeslot - Real Sociedad v Sevilla on Saturday and Villarreal v Barcelona on Sunday. In midweek, they will air commentary on the second legs of the two Copa del Rey ties they have covered this week, before broadcasting the evening La Liga fixtures next weekend. With there being no Premiership rugby for a month after this weekend, it will be interesting to see if they do any Sunday afternoon commentaries from Spain. talkSPORT 2's next Premier League commentary will be West Ham United v Crystal Palace on Saturday week. |
