Re: BBC Cardiff
76They do also have the rights to transmit on digital meaning people outside the area can pick up the commentary via Sky, Virgin etc.
Since a boy I have listened to Radio and the BBC output over many years was excellent. I’m putting it down to aging that dumbing down is now the order of the day with celebrity nonsense and a lack of political fairness or objectivity ( just listen to the Today programme , it’s like a right wing think tank thanks to Robinson and Humphrys ).pembsexile wrote:I could find no commentary anywhere on Tuesday night. Plenty of Janice Long on RW in the game time slot but not much else. Yesterday to be honest I didn't even bother looking.
I wrote to the First Minister about this problem a while ago. Last week I had a reply from a Dr Hywel Owen at the Media unit in WAG. He contacted the BBC on my behalf. I have to say, their response is pathetic. All rubbish about analogue transmitters and Friday night coverage in a different sports programme.
I have come to the conclusion that it is a complete and utter waste of time complaining to anyone about this problem. The BBC do not even acknowledge that the problem exists.
That's a new one on me in the argument game. How do you argue your case when your adversary won't even recognise that you have an issue? We just need to accept it. BBC Wales do not give a stuff about us and will not change their stance. Not much else I can do.
In the grand scheme of things it is quite a trivial matter (not for me personally of course). What it does do is give me some understanding of how other people in the world feel when they say they are not listened to and when no one will acknowledge their problem. Sad really, so bloody sad.

Not sure we can contractually also why cut our nose off to spite our face?rodneyboy wrote:Think we should politely say to BBC Wales you are no longer welcome to our matches.
Good ideaBlackandamber wrote:Maybe we should have a protest at a certain time during the Walsall match. As it's a cup game no doubt Radio Wales will at least have commentary online, and of course it's live on S4C. All those in the Hazell could turn round and chant something to Rob Phillips (or whoever). Any suggestions?

You could delay Jeff by a minute or two, so it lines up with the Ifollow delay.Justanordinaryfan wrote:Believe me, when there are no other options, the IFollow service, is a great fantastic product. Admittedly you need to switch Jeff off whilst you listen, but for me that’s a very small price to pay.
