Why are CWR broadcasting on FM & Wasps are on DAB (28 Viewers)

Manofdogs · Feb 7, 2015

Cant get fm in our area terrible reception. That's why I bought a dab radio so I could listen to the match clearly. Don't want to listen to wasps playing. Why don't they put them on fm and the city on dab?

chiefdave · Feb 7, 2015

Fire in a complaint to them, probably won't do anything but can't hurt. You'll be able to do it by email. My Dads been moaning at me about the amount of coverage CWR and CET have been giving Wasps and made complaints to both.

BBC seem to be following the CTs lead.

Watching Bournemouth on a feed.
CWR crackling away in Background.

More people listen to FM than dab so they've done it the right way round in fairness.

Yea not everyone has access to DAB radio whereas nearly everyone has an FM radio, unfortunate for those who can't get a good FM reception but can't please everyone. Ideally they wouldn't be on either but if theres enough interest in it they will continue to put it on I suppose.

Evo1883 · Feb 7, 2015

In all fairness , no they have it wrong , we have been listening to city on DAB for a while , as have supporters outside of coventry, what next a wasps fucking phone in

chiefdave · Feb 7, 2015

If they really have to cover Wasps stick it online like they do with Blaze and Warwickshire.

6 Generations · Feb 7, 2015

Why are they covering Wasps at all.?
Surely this is covered on one of the London local stations. It has nothing to do with our city. I haven't got fm on my dab. How much lower can we sink in order of significance among our local press and media? Disgraceful

Evo1883 · Feb 7, 2015

Probably getting a healthy wod of cash to do it

bigfatronssba · Feb 7, 2015

More fucking conspiracy theories.

BBC are obliged to cover local sports teams. Like it or not Wasps are a Coventry team.

Well constructed argument there. Quite possibly one of your best.

No not really, any update on how the real Cov are doing today ?

skybluetony176 · Feb 7, 2015

Some people are clearly having trouble accepting that they are now a Coventry based team. The fact that they are on DAB and we aren't is a measure of how far we've fallen.

Cov RFC are walking it by the sounds of it. Got the bonus point too.

I'd say its a measure that CWR still regard us as the main Coventry team and Wasps play second fiddle to us. FM is still the main form of radio broadcasting with DAB accounting for a minority of radio broadcast ratings.

Despite the fact that CWR are regarding us as the main team some people are still fucking moaning.

That is a good question, and a far more valid one than asking it as though CCFC have been hard done by.

No they are not. And to me never will be.

Or are you saying that we were a Northampton club whilst playing there?

Evo1883 · Feb 7, 2015

Why do city fans stick up for wasps in any way shape or form , you have no fucking affiliation to them whatsoever

I'm sticking up for the BBC. Nothing to do with Wasps.

Anyway, I went the other week and it was a decent day out.

So should BBC London still be broadcasting MK Dons games?

Good for you , lets hope the villa dont move to the ricoh if they ever have a ground redevelopment , would lose half our fanbase

Well as Villa are a direct rival to CCFC I doubt I would go to that.

Did BBC Northampton cover our games then when we were at Sixfields?

If we had bought Sixfields and moved permanently to Northampton, and then proceeded to put up larger attendances than any other local team, then I expect they would have done.

Honestly, I don't care about Wasps one jot but the hysteria about this is laughable.

Oddly we stopped using our DAB set when we saw it was using more power than the FM/AM sets we already had.

Wasps are here to stay so over time, rightly or wrongly, they will slowly integrate into the community.
Why a second string Rugby match takes priority over a push for promotion by CRFC I don't know.

It's the only way I can get a decent CWR signal at home.

Not that bothered about wasps before the backlash, but there is a big difference, our move to Northampton was just to try and distress ACL and pick up the Ricoh on the cheap. Never was a permiment move. Waps have bought the Ricoh paying market value, and have moved here for good, or bad, depending on people's personal view. They are now a Coventry based team. Just as blaze are when they moved from Birmingham. Only difference is they didn't Impact CCFC in any way except for bringing a successful sports team/ franchise to the city. Another sport does the same and some want people hung draw and quartered, because they got our ground.....

It's not hysteria, simply people who could listen to the commentary on our games previously as they could pick up CWR on DAB now can't as they can't pick up FM. It's not just on here it's on twitter as well, plenty of people complaining.

What are the ratings like for Wasps commentary?
