So - if we aren't at Britannia stadium or subscribing to Barnsley world

DoI take it we're relying on Teletext tonight?

 

Apparently on Radio Stoke on 't Web.

Being (at least for now) a Barnsley World subscriber I was heartily pissed off on saturday because try as I might (I'm reasonably good with computers) I could not get the commentary to work. Did anyone else have problems?

 

I'll be relying on here, in between watching Champions League

 

bbc radio stoke?

<div class="borderBottomBox clearme"><h3>Local Radio Football Commentary</h3>

BBC local radio football commentary is also not available via the BBC Radio Player, since the copyright for these matches owned by the sports rights holders the Premier League and the Football League.

Charles Runcie, Head of Sport for BBC English Regions, explains:

The reason we cannot put our BBC Local Radio football commentaries on bbc.co.uk is that the copyright to them is owned by the rights holders the Premier League and the Football League. They effectively &quot;license&quot; the BBC to provide radio commentaries, for which we pay annual fees direct to the clubs.

The clubs themselves own the rights to put audio commentaries of their matches on the internet, not the BBC. When the BBC and a football club agree a commentary deal, reflected in this is the provision for a club to request to use this BBC commentary on their website. The BBC usually does so at no cost to us, and we supply the vast majority of online audio commentaries. Nor does the BBC make any money from this, being seen as part of a good relationship between a BBC Local Radio station and their local football clubs.

Many clubs now have subscription elements to their official club websites. They are looking to find additional revenue streams in order to finance the day-to-day running of their clubs, hence using audio online commentaries as part of the subscription-only offer on their club sites.</p>
