Online coverage

[Stuffed Crust Pizza]

Yesterday I tried to listen live to your Forest vs Royals coverage via your website but was unable to do so. After some research I've discovered that you are unable to stream live coverage over the internet due to contractual reasons. Can you please shed some more light on this?

Its because Reading Player use Reading 107's coverage of the match. And this is cheaper because its Sir John's own station.

yep, all live coverage was dropped by Reading 107fm, (that was of course) until the good times happened back in 2005/06

Now, by the default of Sir Johns personal involvement(and rent fee at the stadium)....it is now the "official" station of the Royals.

I've listend to both the QPR and Plymouth games on the internet of BBCRB. We lost 4-1 both times, so don't use it anymore

I had the Burnley commentary on my iphone/through the car stereo on BBC Berks loud and clear in Lux.

maybe 'cos it was only the Cup?

The 'switch' that cuts the coverage off is not operated by a man in a booth, but by a programme and is set for 2:59pm so if a game kicks off earlier (say... 12:45pm) then it can slip through the net and make it on to the ... er ... net.

I'm sure I heard on BBC Berks today that we were looking for our first win at Brammel Lane for 12 years...what are they on about?

It couldn't be any further from the truth could it?

12 years since a defeat they meant.

[LUX]

just to confirm that commentary was blocked yesterday

Next week you might be lucky with the game being late, but then you might not and they'll probably cut it off at 3 and keep it off meaning you don't even get the build up.
