It does seem as if there are a lot of people that won't be able to get it - maybe we should start a pirate radio station with match commentary for those that can't hear it.
STFC couldn't care less all they are worried about is the money fcuk everyone else..Brunel offered them a bigger financial package so they went with it instead off looking which station could give them the better overall package.
At least Ed & Shaun now know whey they wasn't invited to tender though..but poor when you have to read it on the internet instead of Starnes / Diamandis having the balls to pick up the phone and explain their decision.
Oh well I suppose it give's Ed a bit of extra time to really do some digging and expose this lot for what we know them to be...and help put the pressure on them to leave.
Do you think the SSW will be able to get full match commentary now though ??!!

Off Brunel's website......
Brunel FM transmits to the Swindon & District area. The station can also be heard in Marlborough, Malmesbury, Cirencester, Lyneham, Highworth and Wootton Bassett. When driving from Swindon, if you travel down the M4 you can still receive coverage as far as Chievely Services to the West and down to Bath to the East.

if you travel down the M4 you can still receive coverage as far as Chievely Services to the West and down to Bath to the East. Leaving aside the fact that Bath's to the west of Swindon, not the east, you can't - tried it this morning and it goes as far as five miles out of Jcn 16, then nothing. |

Why is the broadcast range so fucking shit?
The Oxford answer to Brunel is Fox FM.
You can pick this up clearly in Swindon, Reading, MK and nearly Stratford Upon Avon!!!
A broadcast range from Oxford of about 50 miles. My guess is that it's to do with local radio licensing. There's a whole bunch of really local radio stations nationally, as well as the bigger ones like GWR that operate over a bigger patch. The Local Radio Company, http://www.thelocalradiocompany.com/index.asp?inc=about who own Brunel also operate ones in Bath, Warminster etc at around the same frequency, so it might get a bit messy if their broadcast range was any greater. It would be interesting to know whether the deal allows them to cover games on the other local stations in their network? |

I live in Grange Park and my reception keeps cutting out - I just did a check on my tuner downstairs. Not had problems with other stations unless in extremely bad weather. But it's a bright day with hardly a cloud in the sky  Bugger |

Also it is not very clear where I live in Highworth so thats cobblers as well - although it doesnt say what it means by coverage .. a crackly noisy sound might constitute you being able to get it ... |

I get crackly noise, followed by silence, followed by crackly noise. Then the music kicked in and was ok, but it then keeps repeating the pattern |

The reception. We all know the music isn't up to scratch so that's not even a moot point.

Even if i carry on my subscription to STFC World, the match commentary cuts out all the time. Fucking bastards.
I demand that they fit special satelites to all our cars too so we can listen on the way home too.
