Lack of media 20:16 - Feb 13 with 2840 views

Its the 21st century and not having sky sports I cannot watch or listen to the match anywhere.
No steams, Not on Radio Wales as they playing Janice Long and its not on Swansea sound.
With all the digital media these days its pathetic.

Winds me up how Radio Wales big themselves up yet don't cover the game outside the Swansea area.

Unless it's a rights thing, which was the case in the PL, why they can't broadcast on MW, FM or online is beyond me.

With their audience plummeting, you'd think they'd make it available across Wales.

Then why don't you simply pay your tenner and watch on Swans TV? I'm not trying to be rude btw.

10?? for one game ..I just want it on the radio, you will have to pay to get it on the radio in the not so distant future.
My point was theres nore choice than ever in the media world yet it seems harder to listen to your team, was easier 20 yrs ago.

I was driving back from Carmarthen hospital to Ammanford during the first half and managed to pick up the game on radio Wales on DAB in the car. Surely that’s the same radio coverage area as Swansea?

Well that’s a first if true.

I think it is a rights thing. Shame it’s not more widely available. £10 is a bit steep to sit at home and have the missus talking on the phone all the way through!

I get your point but 20 years ago you wouldn't have had a chance of seeing it on TV so £10 per game is, to me, reasonable value. Its even cheaper if you sign up for a season deal I believe. Swans TV also offers audio at £5 per game and again, I think its cheaper for a season pass.

I do understand your point but this is today's world I think and yes it all costs.

Those among us who are a bit more tech savvy will often find a TV stream or audio link but I'm not a Twitter user so I don't get to see some of the links I'm told get posted on there

Games on Swans TV are blocked in the UK for rights reasons, so you'll need a subscription to a VPN on top of that. The official site charging for radio comms in disgusting too. Its all about squeezing every last penny out of supporters

OP is correct, it's ridiculously hard to find coverage on occasions, particularly if you're outside Swansea. Crazy in this day and age

You are covering my point....with the amount of possible coverage it should be easy to get it somewhere not messing about with streams that freeze or radios that cover it in some parts but not others..couldn't get radio coverage and I gave up on one stream as it froze every 5 mins...my reference to 20 yrs ago was I could switch the radion on at 3(example) and have it on instantly not spend 20 mins searching .

It was on Swansea sound despite what Crofty said. I listed it on that station until I couldn't take it any longer as the commentator seemed to be willing Leeds to score at every opportunity. I switched over to Radio Wales(Ratcliff) who actually called the Swans "we" and seemed to support any move up the pitch from Swansea.

The game was LIVE on Talk Sport 2 with a decent build up.

It's always a rights thing unless Cardiff are playing, this has been happening for years.

It's £15 for a month of games.
