Kendoll Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 This was my response when I complained about the lack of live radio games as I can't always make the games with the boy: Thank you for your e-mail. The BBC Scotland contract with the Scottish Premier League has changed this season and so we do not commentate on all games. Our contract has changed because we, like most publicly funded organisations, have budget cuts to implement. For football, this means that we have reduced the amount of money we pay to the SPL and now cover fewer live commentaries. We have made additional production savings as we do not send commentators and summarisers to all matches. Although you do not appear to enjoy Open all Mikes, our audience research suggests that the format is well received and covers the whole of Scottish football in an entertaining and informative way and provides reporters at all SPL matches ensuring we are first with every incident" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they can't have a producer to switch to other games for updates, like 5live does, rather than having a bunch of idiots shouting over each other, I don't know. Secondly - how can they afford to send staff, equipment etc. to the games so that they can "cover" them on open all mics, but can't broadcast commentaries online? Without being any sort of expert, I would have assumed that the costs associated with the former would dwarf those associated with the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalstonjambo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's difficult to listen to football nowadays because bbc scotland have summarisers who can barely speak ******* english! What an embarrassment it is trying to listen to this 'punditry'. Barely decipherable, and only tactical acumen seems to be 'lump it into the box'.

My "obsession" is because it's utter crap! My daughter suffers from progressive MS and she really enjoyed listening to the commentary on the Hearts games on the radio at home. For that bunch of useless no-marks to try and say open all mics is "popular" is a blatant lie. Oh, and by the way, although the Well game is being covered on their text updates, try the Hearts Beeb website. Isn't even covered on text. The whole caboodle is a shambles. Maybe you can tell me how much per capita the Beeb in Scotland spend covering football compared to England, because they don't want to tell me! Wonder why?

Some folk wouldn't be happy if Radio Scotland inserted free nano receivers in their ears... Didn't solve my problem - you need a laptop or Sky to listen to the game. Last season, I could listen to commentaries on my Android phone, this season it's not working. Tried it in the default browser and then using Chrome. I have flash installed, one of the reasons I opted for an Android phone so the web would continue to work on my phone. BBC should be making their FM and MW channels available online, not just the FM. BBC have reshuffled their budget so the money is spent sending people up to Elgin to do live commentary of Rangers games instead of sticking to the top league. Everyone thought Sky and ESPN would screw the SPL over without Rangers in the league, but it ends up being the supposedly neutral BBC that end up being the least supportive.

Maybe it's just a question of expectations. For as long as I can remember, going back to the days of when Derek Rae had Richard Gordon's role (I'm 35), the BBC have cobbled Scottish football programmes together, struggled with incomplete rights to competitions, failed to provide a consistent, worthwhile service and been unwilling to properly stick their hands in their pockets to support the Scottish game in the same way they do in England. Against that backdrop, I actually view something like Open all mics as a wee bonus (as crap as it might be) rather than an inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 How do you know that, Colin? Open all mics well received by the majority of fans? You're havin' a laugh!!! Mind you, if they show me the results and source of this sample survey and it shows that, say 80% of fans voted in favour of it, I would still say that it was "cooked". Going by the Glasgow Beeb's usual "investment", they probably asked 6 people inside their offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
