I couldn't get coverage of the match at all on Saturday no matter how much I tried. I tried to re-tune my radio again and still got the Bradford match. I've been in touch with BBCRL and they have informed me that it was on DAB Leeds frequency 12D which is accessible in all areas of Huddersfield (we are normally on 11B apparently which is Bradford and Huddersfield DAB). They are losing 774 Medium soon and so need a frequency for Bradford games to replace it. Quite why they needed to put Bradford on DAB on Saturday when they were on FM is a side issue. How many more people couldn't get the commentary on Saturday? They are insistent that the problem is mine and not theirs, but I already know of a good few people who had the same issues as I did. Would be interested to hear if it's a widespread problem. Please could you complete the poll as BBCRL have asked if I can send further proof. Thank you.

We had Oggy & Glennon on iFollow. Unfortunately, I'm out of work at the minute and can't afford any extra outgoings, so I only have my radio.

I tried to listen while driving on Saturday and could only get the Bradford game. Didn’t try too hard to retune as it was only a short journey plus I’d seen some of the early comments relating to how poorly we were playing!

I found 2 different Radio Leeds DAB frequencies, 1 had Bradford City on and the other nothing, all I got was service unavailable scrolling across the display on the radio, piss poor as usual.

The game kept fading out for me up Cross Lane ,Newsome but drove around and managed to pick it up part way down Newsome road. This is the first time I have had any issue, bit poor.

I got the Bradford match in the dab in the car. I got nothing at home then tried again later and it was Oggy. No idea what was going on.

I had Oggy and Glennon in the car pre match for a brief 10minute spell before I got home to watch...one thing they said was something like, “because of the circumstances. we won’t be taking calls post match....”.
What were the “circumstances” they were on about ??

Just got the Bradford game. I thought RL must have lost the coverage or bumped us to FM. Ended up listening to Talksport unfortunately.

there are two local DAB frequencies for some reason. BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio BRADFORD.
Since when did Bradford have it's own station?

What were the “circumstances” they were on about ?? Some 99 year old geezer died the previous day I believe. Can't be certain as there's been very little on the news about this.

Seriously local BBC stations were rescheduled because of that as well?! Couldn't they just stick something on Radio 2 or 4 or whatever? I did find it bizarre that BBC1 *and* 2 effectively closed down from midday on Friday through until Saturday morning...but then I struggled to remember what it was that I was missing/being denied. So I figured it doesn't really matter.

Can only retune if it actually picks it up. When it did, it only have me a signal of 8. No good.

I've got 2 DAB radios at home, one of them picks up Town commentary the other one won't no matter what I try, even when they are in the same room next to each other, can anyone explain why?

I got Bradford game then nothing on the other dab channel. Town should look at this now and either get back on Pulse like they used to be or get it sorted with Radio Leeds once and for all. We seem to be the poor relation in West Yorkshire where football commentary is concerned.

Just out of interest does anyone listen on freeview channel 719 via an indoor aeriel? I don't have an outdoor aeriel and don't want to pay that much. I have Sky, but can't get local radio via that. It's just all so annoying.

I got the first half yesterday. Once I retuned it I had one radio leeds channel that said something like no service available & the other radio leeds channel was playing the Bradford game?
The only reason I bothered to get a DAB radio was to listen to the town matches & now I can't even do that!

I have a DAB radio and retuned it but still couldn't find the town game...only Bradford..I'm in Holmbridge..
Get it on iFollow but despite retuning the radio twice more there's no sign of the new station ...
Are you going to send this feedback to RL ?

I would like to send it to them, yes, but ideally want to know which areas are not receiving as they will probably be more accommodating if it's a widespread problem and not just one area. It certainly seems that there is a bigger problem than may be expected.
