When Swans played Derby a couple of weeks ago Radio Wales in Pembrokeshire was covering the Cardiff game as they always do.
Swans commentary is only on RW in the Swansea area.
I complained to them about this. They agreed I had a point and said they would sort it.
In any event with Cardiff having played Fri night I was looking forward to listening to the Leeds game yesterday.
So tuned in on DAB yesterday at 3pm to get greeted by blydi Rugby!!!!! Never mind I thought I'll listen on FM, no blydi chance !
Radio Wales had the same rugby coverage on DAB, FM, MW, Sky, red button, freeview and online! EVERY possible listening option in West Wales.
Rob Phillip's Leeds commentary was only available on DAB in the Swansea area.
W*ankers!
It wouldn't be the same if Cardiff were in the top two.
PS Radio Cymru AND Radio Cymru 2 , the Welsh language BBC were BOTH broadcasting the same rugby commentary!

Spot on. Was driving home from a break in Newport and put the car radio on to my dismay. Awful service for local license fee payers. |  | | |

I am not rabidly anti egg like some on here and follow some club rugby, but the fact that the BBC only had coverage of a friendly Wales rugby match did my swede in. They should be giving people a choice. | | | |

If Sheff Weds /derby,Baggies were playing Lids,this game would be everywhere.
Radio Wales has utter contempt for us and local Swansea radio has given it up.
Swansea is a city of 245,000 with almost half a million in the region YET we have this incredible situation.
Swansea City is pre eminent in the eyes of most Britons.More know of the Swans than the Gower,Mumbles,Joes ,Verdis or feckn Rossis | |

It it was a 6 Nations or RWC game, I’d still say it was under represented. But it was a second string warm-up game. Incredible.
And I love my rugby! | |

Yep.Me too.
There should be some common sense as to what is broadcast. | |

If Wales are playing and win the day we play the derby...and we subsequently win our game, it will barely get a mention.
Not bitter, in fact couldn't give 2 fcks, but appreciate the feelings for those that do. |  | | |

Same here. Only egg on RW in Ceredigion. When the unwashed’s games coincide with ours it’s their games that we get. It’s fvcking outrageous in a vastly predominently Swansea-supporting area. |  |

I reckon we need to get a petition going on this subject.
It is a public service that couldn't give a shite about the public outside of Cardiff.
There will be some chinless wonders responsible for these decisions on what to broadcast, no doubt all based in Cardiff, getting free tickets to games in Cardiff etc.
Unless we put real pressure on these people it will be possible to continue giving those outside Cardiff a shite service indefinitely. |  |

Free tickets to Cardiff games? Well, at least their getting punished I suppose. |  | | |

I was able to listen to the game yesterday ,on Radio Wales, on my digital radio.
Thankfully somebody put a link on here for us to watch the game, which meant We didn’t have to listen anymore to such crap commentary. |  | | |

I live in Cardiff and had the same problem during the PL years (due to rights) but thought it would be ok in the Championship because they'd be able to split the airwaves.
I know I won't get it on DAB but you'd think you'd get it on FM or MW.
Rob Phillips said on his "Call Rob" show last week they hear that the programme has too much Cardiff bias which he said was nonsense. If you really mean that, please allow fans to listen to either Swansea or Cardiff on DAB, FM or online.
On the bright side, if I drive to one of the highest parts of Cardiff and point the car facing west, do my "Danny boy calling broadsword" impression on the car radio, I can just about pick out some commentary although it does cut out now and again.

What was the reason given that Swansea Sound no longer broadcast games? Was it that the rights are too expensive, and if so, who is the rights holder? |  |

I'd be more than happy to sign any petition. I live in Tonyrefail and Radio Wales never cover the Swans matches live in my area. But Cardiff City is broadcast in all areas bar Swansea. Whether its Wales rugby or Cardiff City playing the same time as the Swans then give people a choice by utilising DAB, FM and MW. |  | | |
