Thermopylae 15,288 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 It doesn't matter which division we are in Bears pay a hell of a lot towards bbc coffers so it's not too much to expect to hear our games wherever we play Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, if it benefits both parties, why not renegotiate? Perhaps radio is seen as a dying media, given the preponderance of video feeds these days.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Very good point. I'm absolutely not interested in listening to the BBC though as, in my view, they have shown themselves to be anti-Rangers and I simply do not trust their BBC Scotland football coverage and I have lost all respect for them. But I would subscribe to Ranger internet radio. I do not understand why we cannot have the RTV commentary also broadcast over the internet as sound only (equivalent of radio) so that those Bears who cannot get RTV because the game is on some other TV network could still listen to the radio commentary. Or where, like today, RTV was available for a fee, then fans could still listen to the sound commentary for a smaller fee via the RTV channel.

They would seriously need to change their style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Rangers Radio would be fantastic.Being an old codger I listen to the Radio constantly on the move at work and when working on my mp3 .Used to listen to Real Radio before Ewin left but since then Talksport.Rangers radio would be fantastic , could have up to date News with JT and interviews with Players Ally and CG .Up to minute news for the Fans would be brilliant.

clelandhattrick 8 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The reason there is no commentary is because of BBC cutbacks. Simple as that. It's the same reason why all SPL games aren't available online any more.The Tories are to blame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,450 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Is it not because the BBC only have the licience to cover the SPL and Cup games?Clyde used to cover the SPL game but lost the bid.Could be an opportunity for them (ahem) or some other station to cover the games although I suppose they'd be branded as Radio RangersThere's a market for someone though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott72 25 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Rangers Radio Sounds good to me! We don't even get a mention on the news which is annoying (all SPL) First second div sides dont get mentioned but there not Rangers,Scotland's biggest and best supported club.
