No Radio Diamonds for Dover

Post by AdamSRJFC »

Title says it all really.

Due to a conflict in the FA's licensing, we aren't allowed to broadcast on Saturday.

We are looking at other ways to give quick updates, keep checking on our website.

It's on Radio Kent - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13629210 - but it doesn't confirm that it will be on their online offering.

Ridiculous really, how come Radio Diamonds was allowed in the previous rounds? And also, will we be filming the game, or will that be another case of FA licensing?

That suggests it will be online - otherwise it wouldn't be listed. At least we may be able to listen to some commentary.

I did wonder that - but then saw how many commentaries BBC Hereward & Worcester would be doing online in that case. Some of the links on that page go straight to a story that makes it clear they will be online - but others, such as this one, link to the iPlayer feed for the station itself.

I also recalled how some stations carry different commentaries on different formats - online / FM / AM / Different Frequencies etc. There were often challenges getting hold of the non-league show if BBC London also had a commentary game - but perhaps they have more bandwidth these days.

It would appear from John Wilkinson's recent tweet that BBC Radio Northampton will be providing commentary on our match. ;)

@JS_Wilkinson: There's reports on the rest of our local teams and a BBC commentary of Dover v @AFCRD via http://t.co/RfBWiNDChw #saturdaysport

An idea we have:

Would anyone be interested in a morning talk show broadcast on the coach down to Dover?

We've decided to make an audio montage of the game to be available too.

Thoughts on a morning broadcast?
