BBC radio Sussex and The Premiership...

[Insel affe]

If.... If......

We did get promoted unto thee promised land of the Premiership would that then signal the end of radio commentary of Albion matches by BBC Sussex ?

Just wondered...

I'm not tempting fate at all in anyway, just asking a hypothetical question.

And, for that matter, Seagulls Player?

Probably set up our own TV Channel

Be a shame if there was no BBC Sussex commentary, BUT you would be able to watch most, if not all, online

I think it would continue. When I lived in Liverpool, Liverpool and Everton were always on local radio.

I don't really like rugby union, so I couldn't give a toss, but, hopefully they would still broadcast our games in the Premier League

Why would it be the end of the radio commentary out of interest. Is it down to contractual rights? If it is surely the BBC have rights to Premier League games so shouldn't be a problem

Not all of them - TalkSport get some don't they, I think the evening games on Saturday and one on Sunday are usually not on 5Live (if only none of the Sunday games were, then I'd be spared Alan Green. Now I've just realised that if we do get promoted I might have to listen to Green commentating on the Albion, which is a bit depressing).

I presume this also means the club can ditch the piss poor website forced on them by the FL?

Here in Newcastle they're always playing the Geordies' matches on the local radio station. I walk past the speakers on full whack while walking through the indoor market on the weekends. Would guess it'll be the same for BHA and Radio Sussex.

They still are.

Personally, I think that is the first action they should take!

We will never be promoted to the premiership therefore there is no need to worry.

The club hate this & the fact they're tied in to it...

My understanding is that clears the club from the collective deal if we get promoted.

So what I think will happen is this.

All games will be available on local radio as now but not online.

Outside of the area all games will be available via the club site as a cost - but they free are organise that themselves or employ the services of the existing provider.

Probably the cheapest option is to take the BBC feed. The club don't have to pay the local BBC. The local BBC get to broadcast it locally on the agreement the club can utilise it via the web.

Radio 5 Live and Talksport (plus possible others) would also pick up the odd game and broadcast nationally "for free".

So not much change beyond the fact that high profile games will be available nationally on the radio.

I'm rather fond of Warren now! Talks a lot of sense at times, shame.
