Saturday 13th August - talkSPORT
Adrian Durham presenting Matchday Live from Goodison Park with Danny Murphy at Selhurst Park and Michael Gray at the Riverside Stadium, followed by The Full Time Phone-In with Danny Kelly and Stuart Pearce at the Etihad Stadium Premier League Hull City v Leicester City - Simon Humphreys Burnley v Swansea City - Dave Rowe Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion - Ian Abrahams and Danny Murphy Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Graham Beecroft and Adrian Durham Middlesbrough v Stoke City - Ian Danter, with Chris Cooper and Michael Gray contributing pre-match Southampton v Watford - Alex Crook Manchester City v Sunderland - Sam Matterface and Stuart Pearce (5.30pm commentary), with James Dodd producing Championship Aston Villa v Rotherham United - Tom Ross Brentford v Ipswich Town - Olly Wilson Newcastle United v Huddersfield Town - John Gwynne Wolverhampton Wanderers v Reading - Chris Parrott Norwich City v Sheffield Wednesday - TBA (probably Kev Lawrence) Cricket: Fourth Test Match England v Pakistan - Jon Norman Wow! What an addition to the talkSPORT reporting team for the new season, a bonafide broadcasting legend in Sky Sports darts veteran John Gwynne. Brilliant to hear him on the station. It's also a Matchday Live debut today for Danny Murphy. talkSPORT 2 Ian Danter presenting Matchday Live 2 from the Riverside Stadium Premier League Middlesbrough v Stoke City - Chris Cooper and Michael Gray (3pm commentary) talkSPORT 2 are carrying updates from talkSPORT's reporters at their other featured games. It's an interesting set-up across the two stations today, Danter was heard during the first hour of the main Matchday Live prior to his show going on-air at 2pm and is updating the match while it is in-play. However, during the 2-3pm hour Cooper and Gray were providing pre-match team news and analysis into Matchday Live while Dants was presenting. I wonder if they'll stick with this set-up on a regular basis or if they'll start using specific reporters for the main talkSPORT on these games separate to the talkSPORT 2 team. talkSPORT Live Premier League Hull City v Leicester City - Tim Long and Adrian Clarke Burnley v Swansea City - Barry Swain Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion - Matt Betts (?) Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Adam Bridge and Paul Mortimer (3pm featured commentary on international radio stations) Middlesbrough v Stoke City - Dan Windle Southampton v Watford - Toby Gilles Manchester City v Sunderland - TBA I think the commentator at Selhurst Park was introduced as Matt Betts, in any case he's a new name to me. Today FM Philip Egan presenting Premier League Live with Mark Lawrenson between 2-3pm Premier League Hull City v Leicester City - Alan Tolley Burnley v Swansea City - Steve Roberts Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion - Mike Lawrence Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Ron Jones and Brian Kerr (3pm commentary) Middlesbrough v Stoke City - Adam Lindsay Southampton v Watford - Russell Hargreaves BBC WM 95.6 Paul Franks presenting BBC WM 95.6 Sport from Villa Park Premier League Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion - Rob Gurney and Tony Brown (3pm commentary on 95.6FM) Championship Aston Villa v Rotherham United - Mark Regan and Tony Morley (3pm commentary on Freeview channel 722 and AVFC.co.uk) Leeds United v Birmingham City - Steve Hermon (3pm commentary on DAB in Birmingham) Wolverhampton Wanderers v Reading - Mike Taylor and Daz Hale (3pm commentary on DAB in the Black Country) League One Oldham Athletic v Walsall - Tom Marlow |

BBC Radio Wales
Burnley v Swansea City - Ian Hunt (host) Rob Phillips and Kevin Ratcliffe (Swansea area FM & DAB) Leyton Orient v Newport County - John Hardy and Daniel Gaibbidon (SE Wales FM & DAB / SW Wales FM & DAB / M Wales FM / MW / Digital TV) Aldershot v Wrexham - Carl Roberts and Andy Legg (N Wales FM / NE & NW Wales DAB / Online) Newtown v Bala Town - Waynne Phillips Rio 2016 - Catrin Heledd Worcestershire v Glamorgan (County Championship Division 2) - Nick Webb I did like John Hardy's continuance in referring to the top tier as the Premiership, him and Danny wondering whether Wyvern (Orient's club mascot) is actually a dragon in disguise, his Olympic viewing update (apparently he's watched Equestrianism and Trampolining and has no idea how you get gold in those) and him asking Danny questions about his time with Wales as Under 21 international, as someone he knew very well (I forget his name) was involved in the coaching set up. BBC Radio Cymru Burnley v Swansea City - Owain Llyr (host) Dylan Griffiths and Owain Tudur Jones (SE Wales FM & DAB / Swansea area FM & DAB / SW Wales FM & DAB) Leyton Orient v Newport County - Alun Williams Aldershot v Wrexham - Gareth Blainey and Marc Lloyd Williams (N Wales FM / NE & NW Wales DAB / Digital TV) Newtown v Bala Town - Waynne Phillips Rio 2016 - Catrin Heledd (at the Cycling velodrome) with Rhodri Llewellyn at the IBC BBC Bristol / Somerset Geoff Twentymann (studio host) Burton Albion v Bristol City - Richard Hoskin and Adam Baker (94.9FM / 104.6FM / Bristol & Bath DAB / Somerset DAB / Freeview) Luton Town v Yeovil Town - Chris Spittles and Tom Seymour (95.5FM / 1566MW) BFBS Radio Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion - Andrew Cheal (predicted 2-1) FL Championship preview - Adam Inker The Sports presenter got Anthony to predict who would win the PL and who would go down, with Andrew predicting Manchester City to win the league. He only said that West Bromwich Albion would struggle but no firm pick as to which three gets relegated. Swansea Sound Burnely v Swansea City - Antony O'Connell (commentary) Classified results at 1705 - Colin Beazley |

Fun fact: Brighton v Forest was the Friday night Championship game this weekend last year. Indeed all three stations listed above called upon the same match broadcasters then that they are using tonight, meaning I could do a copy-and-paste job of the message I posted this time last year!

Did anyone hear any of talkSPORT 2's Full Time Phone-In with Ian Danter and Michael Gray from the Riverside? If so, how did that show sound? Over on talkSPORT Live, it was actually Matt Davies (of Chelsea TV) who was commentating on Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion. I misheard his initial namecheck. John Anderson and David Connolly were the commentary team on Manchester City v Sunderland. |

regarding the post
BBC Radio Manchester - Sunday 14th August Bournemouth v Manchester United - Liam Bradford - reports Living down in the west country we get five BBC local stations from Mendip transmitter Bristol Somerset Wiltshire Gloucestershire Dorset(although I think we should get Devon) I turned over to BBC Dorset and they had commentary of the Bournmouth v Man Utd game. By the way is there a maximum amount of BBC local radio stations we are allowed to have for each transmitter, or COULD we have ALL the BBC local stations using freeview? |

Although Newstalk introduced the Burnley reporter as Adam Dury, RTE Radio introduced him as Peter Smith, who I believe it was.

Monday 15th August - talkSPORT
Mark Saggers presenting Kick Off alongside Danny Murphy Premier League Chelsea v West Ham United - Ian Abrahams Olympic Games: Rio 2016 "Bulletins from Brazil" - Kate Partridge talkSPORT Live Premier League Chelsea v West Ham United - Tom Rennie and Rufus Brevett talkSPORT are trailing Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace as their 3pm commentary pick this coming Saturday. This game will probably be on talkSPORT 2, although I'm hoping they'll be covering the whole of T20 Blast Finals Day which runs throughout the afternoon - therefore I wouldn't mind it if the commentary gets moved over to either talkSPORT or talkRADIO as a one-off in order to accommodate the live cricket. I presume Radio 5 Live have picked Burnley v Liverpool as their 3pm commentary, given how they typically prioritise Manchester United and then Liverpool whenever those clubs play in the Saturday 3pm timeslot. |

Tuesday 16th August - talkSPORT and talkSPORT 2
Mark Saggers presenting Kick Off: Champions League Live (talkSPORT) Ian Danter presenting Kick Off: Championship Round The Grounds from Villa Park (talkSPORT 2 from 7.30pm) UEFA Champions League Play-Off Round First Leg Steaua Bucuresti v Manchester City - Jim Proudfoot and Clive Allen (7.45pm commentary) Championship Aston Villa v Huddersfield Town - Nigel Pearson and Ian Danter Brentford v Nottingham Forest - Ian Abrahams Brighton & Hove Albion v Rotherham United - Elliot Cook Burton Albion v Sheffield Wednesday - Tom Ross Leeds United v Fulham - Alan Biggs Norwich City v Bristol City - Tony Incenzo Preston North End v Derby County - Graham Beecroft Wigan Athletic v Birmingham City - Simon Humphreys Wolverhampton Wanderers v Ipswich Town - Dave Rowe Olympic Games: Rio 2016 "Bulletins from Brazil" - Kate Partridge An interesting set-up on the talkSPORT stations tonight. talkSPORT 2 were simulcasting the first half hour of talkSPORT's build-up before going their separate ways at 7.30pm, with the newer channel providing a Football League Around the Grounds show while the main one provides commentary on the Manchester City game. BBC WM 95.6 Mark Regan presenting The West Midlands Football Phone-In and BBC WM 95.6 Sport from Villa Park Championship Aston Villa v Huddersfield Town - Mark Regan and Andy Blair (7.45pm commentary on DAB in Birmingham and AVFC.co.uk) Wigan Athletic v Birmingham City - Rob Gurney and Howard Gayle (7.45pm commentary on 95.6FM) Wolverhampton Wanderers v Ipswich Town - Mike Taylor (7.45pm commentary on DAB in the Black Country) League One Chesterfield v Walsall - Joe Lynskey Not sure which game is on Freeview, Rego didn't trail it. Mark hosted The West Midlands Football Phone-In tonight between 6-7pm, as Paul Franks was hosting his Drive show from Blackpool (nope, me neither). It looks like BBC WM now have rights to all Aston Villa games, which they are sharing with the club's official website subscription service. Villa have downsized their in-house media team, with match commentator Jack Woodward leaving the club over the summer, so it makes sense from them to come to an agreement with WM (especially now Free Radio 80s are no longer on the scene) to produce commentaries for them. |

BBC Radio Wales
Ian Hunt (studio host) Luton Town v Newport County - Rob Phillips and Jason Perry (SE Wales FM & DAB / Swansea area FM & DAB / SW Wales FM & DAB / MW / Digital TV) Wrexham v Solihull Moors - Carl Roberts and Waynne Phillips (N Wales FM / NE & NW Wales DAB / Online) Rio 2016 - Huw Wynn Morgan (at the Cycling velodrome) With Jon Parkin now a Newport County player, I did like Rob and Jason both calling him 'Big Jon Parkin' as well as his height/weight stats at every available opportunity. You could also hear a supporter repeating to his friend what Rob was saying some of the time! Radio Wales also joined 5 Live (as they did for the GB v South Africa Rugby Sevens Semi Final last week) for the 'first past' of the sprint finals involving Becky James. BBC Bristol / Somerset Dan Albutt (studio host) Norwich City v Bristol City - Ed Hadwin and Adam Baker (94.9FM / 104.6FM / Bristol & Bath DAB / Somerset DAB / Freeview) Mansfield Town v Yeovil Town - Chris Spittles and Tom Seymour (95.5FM) BBC Radio Norfolk (5LSX simulcast) Keith something (host) with Rob Bulter studio host ready for the 'Canary Call' Norwich City v Bristol City - Chris Goreham and Darren Eadie Kings Lynn v Cambridge City - Mark Hearle Lowestoft Town v Needham Market - Gary Button Dereham v Wroxham Town - Nick Bowler |

according to the TS2 schedule, the Spurs v Palace game will be on there this Saturday at 3 PM. They'll be providing commentary of the first T20 semi finaland the final.
while i understand the commertial reasoning that the football will be more popular, its disapointing after such good T20 coverage that they won't cover one of the semi finals. On another note (and this is a criticism normally labelled at 5Live so I feel no compunction in criticising TS for it) they will be pulling away from their live tennis on Friday evening to broadcast their new football discussion show. IMO live sport should always trump a discussion programme... on a more posetive point, TS2 will be covering West Ham's Europa league qualifying round first leg match tomorrow night. |

while i understand the commertial reasoning that the football will be more popular, its disapointing after such good T20 coverage that they won't cover one of the semi finals. However, it's good that they are broadcasting the first semi-final as well as the final and, who knows, they could make commentary on the second semi-final available via a webstream as they have done for sporting events in the past prior to the advent of talkSPORT 2. While I personally would have advocated moving the 3pm Premier League commentary onto talkRADIO or even talkSPORT as part of the main Matchday Live for one week only, I can see the sense in keeping it in what will become its regular timeslot, given that their coverage only debuted last weekend. On Saturday's Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace coverage, Ian Danter mentioned on Kick Off last night that Alex Crook and Alvin Martin will be the commentary team at White Hart Lane - both are southern/London-based, which adds up with my theory that we'll see different commentary teams on these games from week to week, largely based on geography. Judging by the talkSPORT.com schedule, it appears as if Stuart Pearce will be doing co-commentary alongside Sam Matterface on the Saturday 5.30pm game (Leicester City v Arsenal) for a second week running, while Jim Proudfoot will be joined by Michael Gray for Sunderland v Middlesbrough commentary on Sunday Exclusive - with Danny Kelly sitting in for Mark Saggers at host. Steve, I'm keen to hear your thoughts on talkSPORT's decision to give JP the Sunday afternoon commentary gig ahead of SM. Knowing your thoughts on the respective commentators, I imagine you're pleased with this decision. Quote:

on a more posetive point, TS2 will be covering West Ham's Europa league qualifying round first leg match tomorrow night. I'm confused with the scheduling of this new show, as running it between 6-8pm last week meant they were only able to join their live Super League game right upon kick-off. When Premiership rugby union returns next month - arguably talkSPORT 2's most attractive sports contract after the Premier League - surely they cannot persist with this show in its current timeslot given that these games kick off at 7.45pm and you'd imagine they'd want to retain a 7pm start to their build-up. Also, Tom Rennie is involved in talkSPORT Live's Friday night Bundesliga coverage from 7pm, so I don't see how the two can co-exist in current form. Good to see Astra v West Ham is live on talkSPORT 2 tomorrow, but again it throws up another scheduling conflict. The match is a 7.15pm kick off, with coverage due to start at 7pm after the live tennis, but they were originally scheduled to be doing full Super League commentary as they usually do on Thursday nights - instead, they'll only be having second half commentary on Hull FC v Catalans Dragons following the conclusion of the football. Given their rugby league commitments, I don't see why the West Ham match couldn't have been on the main talkSPORT. |
