I'm in Lincolnshire and have had no problem for 8 years on DAB until now. "service unavailable" Has something changed?? Yes . There are now 2 radio Leeds DAB frequencies So gone from one working frequency to two not working frequencies, great advancement, well done RL.

It works for most people. To say we are 20 or 30 years in DAB feels a bit shit full stop to.be honest. There is also a freeview channel with the town coverage on . And some of us watch on ifollow stream. Whilst nothing is perfect there is more access to town than ever before

It was on FM and freeview that was not the gripe.

It's shit, Radio Leeds are supposed to cover the whole of West Yorkshire, but they claim they can't broadcast both DAB frequencies to the whole of West Yorkshire for contractual reasons and it's not their fault, if you happen to live closer to Bradford than Huddersfield you're lumbered with only been able to get Bradford City coverage, I know a Bradford fan who lives in Huddersfield and he can't get anything but Town coverage.

I'm in Brighouse and I can get both. It is is infuriating though. I'd be fuming if I couldnt get it. Also I often listen when I'm out running or walking so that tv channels a load of crap.

As I reported yesterday, we don’t have the need or see the use of a wireless in the house: we stream everything from our devices using Bluetooth speakers which is much more accessible and efficient.
What I found yesterday was that, even though I was sat in Marsden, I couldn’t stream the commentary because of contractual issues - the BBCq couldn’t tell my location even though there are multiple ways of checking this using apps and smart devices.
If you’re in the UK, we shouldn’t be forced into paying a subscription for the very same commentary when we (I’m sure there at some that don’t) pay our licence fees - that’s just wrong.

I just wish someone would tell Matt Glennon it's pronounced Naby Sarr not Naby Zzzarr.
A minor point I know but it didn't half get annoying during Saturday's commentary.

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. I live in bradford and could get both games after a lot of messing about. it only works in certain areas according to radio leeds, town will always be on that frequency. Its a load of crap basically. Try downloading a radio app to your phone, i cant get talk sport 2 on radio, but can on phone app.

the coverage is getting shiter you struggle to get a dab signal the bird who chimes in on the commentary should stick to sorting out the half time brews and the fan phone in is carlos babbling on like the fast show football julio geordio...i do like matt and oggys commentary though.

With the shuffling about and calls to 'retune your radio if you get the Bradford coverage, and you should pick up the Hudds game' It's almost like they want people to pay £2.50 to listen to the commentary via iFollow 🤷♂️

Radio Leeds have well and truly buggered this up. They cannot possibly supply 3 match commentaries using DAB only. Here in the Colne Valley we appear to have more chance of hearing the crowd noise coming from the JS stadium than the commentary from Radio Leeds, if it's limited to the new frequency on DAB. The club need to keep an eye on this as they will get the stick from the fans eventually.

They better not win their cup final at 12:30pm otherwise the love-in/phone-in will still be in full swing on FM until well after 3pm.

I've contacted Radio Leeds again. No matter how I try, I can only get the Bradford game. My DAB will not pick up the 12D frequency. They have asked me to find out which areas people cannot get the coverage in. Over to you folks. Let's get this sorted!

Newsome and up towards castle hill seems none existent to patchy at best. There appeared to be better coverage over Birkby/ Fartown way whilst driving around.

I live in Slawit & I can't get it, my mate lives in Linthwaite & can't get it so I presume the Colne Valley is a problem area.

The 12D frequency comes from the Emley moor mast, seems strange some can pick it up and some cannot.

It appears the transmitters covering the Huddersfield area that cover Radio Leeds are Ainley Top and Holme Moss. I suspect if you have line of sight of either of those you are fine, otherwise... They seem to broadcast 11B. Emley Moor was only showing 12B - the national channels. www.bbc.co.uk/reception/check-for-transmitter-faults/#/undefined

I'm in Linthwaite, up at near the Bulls Head, and can't get it - tried 3 different radios. My car radio had managed to retune to it by the time I'd driven to Golcar on the way to the Fulham match though. However, it then lost it again whilst parked on St Andrews Road sometime during match 🤣.

If it comes from Emley Moor or Holme Moss jobs fucked in the Colne Valley, TV aerials round here point to some crappy little repeater, Cop Hill looking over Slawit as the line of sight to Emley Moor or Holme Moss is horrendous.
