Just who was it "anchoring" yesterday's programme? I've never heard someone so out of his depth, as he rambled away trying to make sure that what he said and what was broadcast offended absolutely no-one.

And the way he treated the callers! Isn't the point of a call that there's a discussion? Not for him - listen then disconnect without comment.

Plus when a caller used the words "homophobic chanting" - in a serious, legitimate context, the caller was dropped like a hot cake - supposedly because "the line was so bad[" but that was clearly absolute bollox as everyone could hear him fine. It was obviously the fear that talking about the issues of the day might have caused offence to someone - what was he so scared of, the Daily Mail getting involved?

not sure, but think it was Tim Dellors' dad Ralph again.

BTW if the BBC could sort out the pirate afro-caribbean station that has started to broadcast over the top of 104.1/104.4 in my area, I wouldn't have to resort to on-line!

I think this is affect me too, I pick up some caribean music on 104.1 /104.4 around heathrow and walton on thames

who can we go to? unfortuately Radio berks on DAB does not stretch as far as me

That'll be Ofcom's responsibility :

I think the culprits are in the blocks of flats by the Langley mM4 junction.

Said blocks of flats are long overdue explosive demolition so perhaps they could kill two birds with one stone!

Their was a fire in one of them a few years back. Unfortunately the local fire station is only a very short way from the flats and they put the fire out before it could do too much improvement!

Ollie - thanks for your responses on this it's really helpful - would it be possible for you to contact Tim or someone at BBC Berks and just remind them they have Forum on HNA and while we appreciate that this site is not going to be a priority for them it would be nice if they could "pop in" every month or so even, if its no more than to remind people about the various shows they have coming up.

Another question re: local output on DAB, I note that you can get regional BBC TV programmes on digital TV from wherever you are in the country, therefore why is it not possible to get regional BBC radio programmes on DAB wherever you are in the country, as it would be very useful if you could pick up local radio shows when travelling back from an away game.

Is this a joke?

[RoyalBlue]

Why? Is the Beeb not about public service broadcasting?

Anyway I doubt you would catch an independent missing out on the opportunity for a bit of free promotion to a very targeted audience!

Show finished at 10:20 again last night, just as we got to the car. Given that we don't have MW on our car radio, and so couldn't listen to Danny Baker, we were left with the option of having to listen to the sub-Lily Savage soundalike and his sad lonely old bat phone-in or silence during the 30-minute wait to leave the HP carpark. We opted for silence, natch.

Is there a commercial or independent channel that serves up a more wholesome after-match dish for midweek fixtures?

Isn't the radio production of RFC games for people who cannot go to the games?
Not for people running back to their cars after the match.

I never run. But yeah, I guess you're right, although I tend to think that in this modern media age that post-match interviews, analysis and unreasonable texted criticism are part and parcel of the whole matchday experience.

It should be for both. I'd be interested to know what listening figures are for the footie show and how they break down between the different categories.

You are spot on CMR.

Why have the highlights been condensed into 1 clip of tim dellor telling us what the final score was when the final whistle goes?

[Royal Lady]

because yesterday the final whistle WAS the highlight.

That's not true. The highlight was the discussion about cakes and Diane's complaint that they talk too much about cakes.

They did it again on Saturday. I get to my car and they play "Reading replay" jingle, then, expecting to hear some of the highlights of the game (I know there weren't very many shots but it wasn't that bad a game) all they play is the final whistle and Joel going on about that being the end of the match. What a waste of time, might as well have not bothered.

If BBCRB cut the coverage early tonight to go over to Saga radio then they are every bit as shyte as the club they are reporting on.

We want post match interviews etc. tonight!!
