It's poor isn't? A large city, one radio station is just a national "Magic FM" style station that is probably the same output as in Norfolk. The other devotes 15 minutes post match analysis as probably if they go over that they are immediately sacked. And yes Crewe/South Cheshire should have it's own station. I guess someone somewhere is going to say we now have a million Internet channels with opinions, people rely and prefer the radio from a national broadcaster. Rather than some sweaty teenager on a shit youtube channel. We deserve much much better than this. I've defended Radio Stoke on here previously but over the last few months it seems to have gone rapidly downhill, Signal did provide a half decent alternative but no more it seems, as you say, very generic now. I always justified the license fee to myself on the strength of Radio Stoke thinking I probably got enough value out of that alone to justify £3 odd a week, nowadays I'm not so sure.

I did think that 10 minutes of cricket post-match was odd (and disappointing) last night. I haven't listened to Radio Stoke much over the past year other than match commentary (which I enjoy) so can't comment overall. Bits and bobs I hear sound fine.
BBC Radio 5 seems to be going down the pan though. There are still a lot of excellent presenters but some shows seem so dumbed down. Compare the sports show that used to be on Sunday mornings at 9am to what's on now, and the football coverage around midday on Sundays to a few years ago. It's become unlistenable at times.

I’m pleased it wasn’t just me who noticed the cricket interview literally minutes after full time
Said to my lad travelling back that it’s a bit poor when they’ve only got 15 minutes until the programme ends
I often defend the station but last night was indefensible

Might be just me but I think Nige is sounding better this season. Hopefully any health issues are resolved. As for the programme format, although they are nowhere near as good as some other local stations I’ve long since resolved myself to what it is and as long as they get the managers views at the end of the game that’s me happy. Frankly I’m tired of the ponderous over analysis football gets these days anyway.

I had to work late last night but I thought Johnson and the commentary in general was decent, who was the co-commentator never caught who it was but again his analysis was good?

It was Andy Quy and yes he was quite interesting.

But for a League cup 2nd round game against Donny I can cope 🙂

Shambles of a station.

I remember when I were a lad they used to give loads of time to local cricket leagues. I bet that’s all gone now too. I imagine budgets are pretty minimal now for the sports ‘department’.

As with the old adage 'people get the government they deserve' , much the same is true of the media that serves us.
Stop tuning in to the amateurish shite (and also clicking on anything from that contemptible shitrag The Sent*nel for that matter) and they'll either (a) get the message, or (b) cease to exist.
Either option is entirely palatable.

Don't think that's the case mate because Acres has been doing this and on the BBC red button goals show for years. The rat faced weasel will still be around.

I know I moan a lot about Radio Stoke but tonight showed for me just how pathetic they are We get back in the car about 9-45 and listen to some Crewe bloke on about their game at Leeds(fair enough) but then considering they’re going off air at 10pm Mr Bowers decides to play an interview with Dawid Malan for about 7 minutes ahead of tomorrow’s test match🙄WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK😡15 minutes of airtime to speak about Stoke and Crewe and the useless tossers play a cricket interview🙄 I flick around for another station,5live on about the games,Radio Derby still on air talking to Rooney and a player and their game finished when ours did 🤔The people of Stoke on Trent deserve far better than what they’re getting for sure After a game, the media will sometimes have to wait up to 40 minutes to interview the manager and players pitch side, and that is out of the control of the station. The media officer will tell the manager and players that SkySports are first priority then the radio then the newspaper journalists afterwards. So not getting the content isn’t the fault of the presenters, they have a running order to stick too unfortunately.

Get the right people on and it could be both interesting and end the reliance on the somewhat ‘variable quality’ of people calling in. Memory might be playing tricks but I’m sure they did something like that way back in the dark ages of the 1970s.

Sure the producers back in the studio can do something about it but more often than not already have pre paid programming waiting to go at a certain time.

As for pre paid programming🤣🤣Late night love or the Late show,don’t make me laugh😄. They are not interested and as soon as their time is up they’re off
