I’ve lived away from Teesside for a long time so pay for the seasonal radio commentary and listen through the MFC iPhone app. I don’t remember when it changed, maybe just this season but it seems to be a really inconsistent overall service.
The matches themselves are usually fine barring the odd technical difficulty, nothing to usually complain about. However, the pre-match, half-time and post match seems to be constantly interrupted by the same series of strange adverts and jingles, even in the middle of interviews and the commentary team talking. After the match there are often long periods of silence or near silence where you can hear what sounds like a game being played. As I write they just interviewed the opposition manager, now it’s radio silence and I’m sure those daft adverts will kick in again soon.
I’d be interested to know why this is the case, maybe they can’t audio stream certain segments and that would be fair enough, but it’s done really badly and I’d quite like to listen to the pre/ht/post match segments to keep me in touch with back home. I don’t think this is too unreasonable as I’m paying for it and I’m sure it used to be that way? Anyone else noticed any of this?
EDIT: they also upped the price this season for what is an inferior service based on what it was before.
