I wrote in and got the same shite. I sent a further complaint saying that my specific points weren't answered, next reply basically said f*** off. I haven't got a clue what Radio Sunderland being on DAB has to do with anything!!
Bunch of twats
Yeah mate was a really ignorant reply especially considering BBC Sunderland was only on air briefy during the pandemic and doesn’t even broadcast now.
 
They won’t do that man they’ll piss and moan that a third division team doesn’t get as good coverage as a premier league team. Just like Gateshead moan about how much coverage we get and Shields complain about how much coverage Gateshead get. Oh that’s right they don’t …….,…..
I've never noticed you before. You're a bit simple.
 
It's about time they allowed you to listen via the Internet anarl instead of cutting the programme off as soon as kick off starts. I really don't get it ? I work permanent nightshift and quite often away from home, so we have a midweek game and I'm sitting in me premier inn luxury room listening to the build up on BBC radio Newcastle on me laptop and as soon as it kicks off the fucker goes off 😡😡
Obviously I'm out the area so if I take an fm radio with me still can't listen to it. Not sure about DAB though if your out of the area ? Never had a DAB radio.

I complained about it in December - got this reply

Thank you for contacting us again regarding BBC Newcastle broadcasting Newcastle United and Sunderland matches.

Firstly, we apologise for the delay in replying.

We have spoken directly with the station Editor about your concerns.

We'd explain that we used to alternate games on FM and DAB. The away game would be put on FM due to potential higher listenership as DAB was still relatively new.

There are now more listeners on DAB but the majority still listen on FM.

When Radio Sunderland started in January this year it was on DAB only, and meant all Sunderland games needed to be on DAB and Freeview.

We have continued with putting Sunderland games on DAB and Freeview and Newcastle United on FM when both sides play at the same time. If there is no fixture clash then games go on all frequencies.

We appreciate that we cannot please everyone each time but we'd assure you that these editorial decisions are very carefully considered.

Kind regards,

Ciaran Hanna

What a load of shite
slm
 
I’ve always said when we are away we should be on FM same goes for the mags, they used to do it so no idea why it changed. Being on DAB all the time is shite for the older generation like my Granda for instance.
Certainly use to do it, has it definitely changed? Horrendous if true.
 
Think the answer is simple. Don't listen. Don't use their service.
So let them get away with it ?There is no alternative amd some folk like to listen to he commentary of the match and not everybody has a dab radio or a smart tv..the dab is a inferior service and why should we just put up with it?

Yeah because those sides are comparable, may as well hoy Consett on that daft list.
