Radio Cumbria

Recommended Posts

I've been a constant listener to BBC Radio Cumbria for the last 40 years but I am going to change channels now. The reason.

 

Local and National football has constantly been mentioned and discussed on a daily basis but not a word about our 3 Rugby League Clubs or matters concerning rugby league. Carlisle and Barrow Bluebirds are constantly reported on. In todays sports news it was even Kendal & Penrith. I know Barrow,Workington & Whitehaven play on Sunday but there is virtually no sport on Radio Cumbria on a Sunday.

 

On the positive side the Evening Mail get a lot of criticism but the coverage of Barrow rugby is excellent.

All news - including sport news is selective, which means some sports get the 'column space' / air space, and other sports news gets little or no coverage. I am not one to comment as I don't listen to BBC Radio Cumbria that often. What I would say is that when I have tried to listen local live rugby I've always been unable to listen in online. If you are a keen listener of Radio Cumbria - send them an email telling them that you and I both want to hear Raiders play live :)

That sounds like good local coverage. Like I say I have tried a couple of times to listen online but for whatever reason I've been unable to get connected.

I've just done a search on BBC Radio Cumbria, and it looks like all the Raiders games have gone out live. However I think the coverage has been online. To connect you visit the BBC Radio Cumbria website, and then follow the link to the game.

I know Raider coach Paul Crarey gets interviewed immediately after each game, which is great. It does appears the radio coverage is out there, but if possible it best to watch live at Craven Park :)

Can anyone provide a link for the radio Cumbria coverage at London? Or r they not covering the game?

Download the BBC iplayer Radio app and it's on under radio Cumbria.

not on this weekend but if your away and cant get the game and enjoy the full atmosphere of a winning team with over 1000 supporters, great after game speeches and a few beers after the game then try this link..works for me being away and not making the game. http://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/13629851

 

Support the Raiders whenever you can. if you dont come through the gate we wont be on the radio...

When you are in deep trouble, say nothing, and try to look as though you know what you're doing
