Coverage on Radio Manchester

used to love listening to Piccadilly as a kid, remember the 'its a gooooal' and 'oh nooo' jingles during the games. City commentator was Brian Clark, he was brilliant imho.

There was talk some years ago of mass rationalisation of local BBC outlets / coverage. There may be some inner political pressure to be a bit more inclusive although I would imagine that 80-90% of their overall listeners numbers for sports broadcasting are City Fans. It must fall of a cliff when they cover Wigan or Bolton.

on a positive for radio Manchester is the commentary brought to us by ian cheeseman, its nice that the club is followed and commentated on by a proper blue, a fan who is lucky that his profession lets him combine his love of city with work. the good news is that he does the job so well and long may it continue, makes a pleasant change from the national media bias against the club

They have a new sports editor called Sarah Collins and it seems that she is trying to attract a wider audience from other clubs in the region. They seems to have stopped the DAB coverage of City games as well, and restricted it to the analogue channel on 95.1, with normal programming on DAB.

Personal view is that Radio Manchester provide a good and fair coverage of City; personally I have always found Fred Eyre to be rather negative (and I appreciate my view on this is possibly in the minority) but I think he is honest. I also find Paul Lake to be much more coherent than the Goat (as much as I love him). Regarding the number of callers I would generally prefer much less, I find them generally negative, and my boys (9 and 7) can never understand the criticism of so many City players so I generally switch over on the way back from matches. I think Ian Cheeseman is an excellent broadcaster, although given he is a Blue I wish he would refer to us as us rather than they/them

Cheeseman...You're listening to gmr 95.1 or on dab..I bloody know that already, being as I tuned the radio onto it... I don't need to know what bloody frequency I'm listening to! Or that mike sweeneys on at breakfast time told to me every five minutes during the match
This winds me up more than anything
Rant over

Always been a Fan of Cheesy & Jimmy, as said its the only place to get commentry for many of our games, Nobodys perfect but long may continue

Many Blues who go to the game leave early so they can get the final 10 minutes of commentary from Cheesey ;)

Nope, I'm listening to the saddle worth transmitter, which is on 104.6 FM, it's very rare the Yorkshire wannabes and shame siders get a mention
