For the sake of keping an open mind, could he have been frustrated that his own cash cow wasn't a preferred bidder?
I think you can also mention that extensive pool of interested buyers are in fact just a few of the same names, bandied about in various shapes with their snouts in a number of troughs; eventually they will only stay at the trough that promises to keep on giving. You have pointed out why we struggle on that account.
Do Viking split their frequencies like RH do? I tuned into Viking 2 yesterday using a mobile app (so not sure if that counts as 'online' or 'digital' using RH's labels, or indeed if they're the same thing) and it was just music. If they have three stations anyway why do they need to split?
Are they supposed to be in order the bids came in? You think Chien Lee was a bullshitter? It was an absolutely perfect deal for us and a good deal for the Allams, it's ridiculous that it was rejected.
Vikings commentaries are only available locally on broadcast radio, either on DAB or AM, they only reach as far as the transmitters reach (which is roughly the same area as RH, ie East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and bits of North Yorkshire if you're lucky). Online commentaries, broadcast via the internet, are only available via Tigers TV subscription.
No I wasn't successful in getting commentary or anything. Just struggling to understand why they split their frequencies since unlike RH they don't have three different commentaries to do. Guess it's another commercial inconvenience.
Not really confusing, during City commentary they are obviously outputting FM programmes on any mobile DAB apps, so that out of town people, or those that don't own a DAB or AM radio, HAVE to pay to listen.
I could not get any audio commentary online even the paid ( I had to refresh and it was silent for ages) and I think locally people are struggling with AM as well. I have had tiger player for ages but Iast season I found the commentary lagged too much, up to 4 minutes at times.
Who do you pay though? I thought it was City? Viking are broadcasting it for free on certain frequencies but not others. It's not like it's exclusive content. RH would have one of the local commentaries on the DAB and online service so I don't get what's different. There can't be that many people who are prepared to pay for a radio commentary.
If you live locally, you don't have to pay, you just need an FM or a DAB radio. You had to pay for the RH commentary if you were outside the area, nothing's really changed, other than the new provider offers a far ****tier service.
With RH you could listen online. From what people are saying it sounds lke Viking assume if you're on the Internet you're not local. That's the difference. Frankly I can't believe that more than a dozen or so people from outside the area seriously want to listen to local radio coverage of a Hull City match anyway. And they're not on FM either are they? I'm sure I tried that at the weekend and it was only on AM.
You couldn't listen to the RH match commentary online, unless you paid for it. No Viking 2 aren't on FM but they're clearly playing Viking (1) on app systems during a match.
