I’m not sure I haven’t asked him. Your posting history clearly shows you’re a Mag so not sure why I am bothering to reply!
Jesus, I am sick of being accused this pmsl, I am not sad enough to come on an safc message board if I was.
 
It’s a poor signal like I said it was. Fact is we have had shared coverage for over 30 years. The Radio station is supposed to cater for all the area it covers not just Tyneside. My Uncle shouldn’t have to be buying a booster because of some crackers decision made upstairs. More people still listen through FM than DAB.
Its some (not all) of these baby boomer kids that do my heed in quite happy to tell people to shut up about subjects they dont personally care about or are effected by and wouldn't know a principle unless it was shoved down their gob!
 
We just want impartiality

Genuinely don't get this argument, why don't Blyth Gateshead and Shields get impartiality then?

Gateshead and Blyth are only 3 leagues below us and Shields 1 league below Gateshead, where does it stop? Spennymoor etc etc

We are in the third division and the mags are in the Premier League, they are bound to get better coverage but oh no it's bias ffs....................................

So how come when we were in 3rd Divison in the 80s and Newcastle were in top flight we both got equal coverage? And did so for the next 30 years? The station is supposed to cater equally for Wearside as well as Tyneside

Wearside and Tyneside is not NUFC and SAFC

It does do equality just you want it exclusively on the main platform, commentary is provided on every SAFC and NUFC game

DAB wasn't a thing 30 years ago.

The licence payers of Wearside deserve the same coverage as those from Tyneside.

DAB has been a thing for the past 5 years when we have been in a lower league and it has been impartial then in terms of FM coverage.

Too many Premier League fan boys on this thread who don’t understand the issue.

your argument is very sound in a very unsound way ..you are not comparing like with like and i think you know that!
Does radio Newcastle broadcast blythe ,shields or any of the others you mention when Newcastle or Sunderland not playing? Why do you think that is?
Also i think its still the case that radio Newcastle has to pay nufc and safc for the exclusive rights to broadcast the matches using the bbc license fee.
its part of the bbc remit to reach as many people as possible and it subsidizes many radio shows that the audience figures don't make commercial sense.
Nonmatter what divisions folk are in Newcastle and Sunderland are the two biggest footballing entities in the north east and have huge numbers interested in the games. We as Sunderland fans deserve an equal service as Newcastle on to which we pay for in equal measure and the recent change has destroyed that!

You don't see bias! But I do !just leave it at that
 
You can get a dab radio for less than £20 these days
Lots of cars don’t have it

It’s the size of the fan base which is pretty much equal and radio howabia is biased towards the mags

Some saddo just text in at 6.35 and said “Newcastle have had 20 minutes and Sunderland 15” Razer pointed out that the news is at 6 and then they do introductions so that couldn’t be true. Simple fact is if you want more SAFC on ring up ffs.

As Razer said they alternate who goes first and depends on the news of the day from each club etc.

They were quickly on the defensive so it must be a subject of discussion in the pink palace
 
Does nobody else think we are being sold short by our Regional BBC Radio Station.
Newcastle fans can listen to every game on the premium FM network.
We get FM when nufc and nufc u23s are not playing.

We are told there are ways to listen to the SAFC games by DAB and TV 719.
If this is such a good alternative why don't nufc fans have to do this?

If you agree please raise this with the station as I have tried to many times.
Don't accept the crap that this is to do with a possible return of Radio Sunderland.
One of the best things about being exiled is there’s less chance encountering Radio Mag.

Ha'way, you can't seriously be saying Blyth and Sunderland are the same as Newcastle and Sunderland.
The region has two big clubs of similar size, and similar support. The away team has always had priority no matter what division either are in. They've then decided to give Newcastle exclusive coverage on the premium FM station and relegated Sunderland.
Ansolutely stinks.

They wouldn’t have made the choice they have if we were in the Premier League and that’s not their fault.

If league positions were swapped and we were on FM all the time, this place would be saying tough shit we are in the top division and you cannot deny that.

Its daft to use one incident as an example(to easy to rebuff)...the trend however on TS is firmly skewed towards Newcastle story reporting !The stories are more in depth an the Sunderland stories feel like tokenism.

I don't know if this is true but if they broadcast a montage of defoe goals after he retired and did not broadcast the best goal of Defoe's career against the mags..its either terrible journalism or clear bias!
