Tyne_Bridge 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) I need some help by some english radio listeners I think you're such people Well, I'm wondering about if there is any possibility to receive english radio programmes here in Germany? I have a worldwide-receive-radio at home, but I can just receive some rubbish called "BBC online" or something... In Germany there are radio transmitters which do matchday-repots on matchdays ( ). Could you tell me if there are some englisch radio transmitters doing the same? And when (day,time...) ? Which radio-frequency do they have/use? Thanks a lot by me Edited August 22, 2006 by Tyne_Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44935 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Your best bet is to get it off the net at www.bbc.co.uk/radio Failing that then there is the BBC World Service (frequencies for which will be on the above link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, of course, would know nothing of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 You could subscribe to Newcastle World from the nufc.co.uk site, you can listen to match commentary on match days, its £11.99 for the year at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you had it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) If you've got a strong radio, you MIGHT be able to pick up BBC Radio Five Live, but I don't know. But that's your best bet. They broadcast Premiership, Championship, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and UEFA Cup games. On Saturday afternoon, they have 2 or 3 games on, as well as updates and scores from all the other games. It starts at about 12pm (1pm in Germany) on a Saturday, and usually goes on until 6pm (7pm), when it is followed by a football phone in show. They have one or two games on on a Sunday afternoon, from 1pm (2pm) until about 6pm (7pm). And there is usually coverage of a match of some description on most weeknights between 7-10pm (8-11pm). If not, then they're talking about football. Frequencies, are both AM, I'm afraid. 693 or 909. I really don't know if you'll be able to pick it up in Germany, but that's at least the station to try.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) He never mentioned he was wanting it for football coverage, ladies. 183018[/snapback] He did mention matchday reports like. So, it's a fair assumption. Edited August 22, 2006 by Tom_NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikko 20 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) I dont think UK radio transmitters will have enough power to reach germany, certainly not AM or FM. Long wave might just make it but its not alot of use. Your best bet to get them would be via a satellite tv system or over the net but for the beeb you'd probably need to find a uk based proxy in order to get access. The commercial radio stations should give reports if you can find the right one. www.radio-now.co.ukgives a big list of uk stations that braodcast over the net, i reckon theres a fair chance you can find one there that might do the job you want.

Tyne_Bridge 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thank you lads ! All these tips are very helpful for me I'll try to receive some of your proposals next matchday. And even if it doesn't work, i'm going to listen somewhere on the internet to "almost-live" reports. For watching goals, there is still youtube.com, isn't it ?

Rob W 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 5Live goes out on medium wave 693 - with a top rate radio AND aerial you should be able to get it but it might be bloody grim - check with any mates locally who are into radio and see what you need The BBC specifically only broadcasts around 40 minuts of one game on the World Service - they have "rights issues with the FA & the PL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15552 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Aye, you can just about get Five Live on medium wave in northern Germany on a decent day, albeit through a hell of a lot of fuzz and interference - I remember listening to a number of our 1999/00 matches that way (Roma, Birmingham, Tranmere... what a treat ).

Rob W 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I had a neighbour a few years back who was a radio nut - there was very litlle he couldn't get - cost him a bloody fortune on kit of course and the place was covered in aerials a dedicted aerial built for the exact 5Live frequency is yer best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteroidblitz 12 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Which part of Jormany are you in? If you are in the western part, you might be best off getting a Sky digibox on Ebay and listening to Radio 5 digitally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyne_Bridge 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 The locaion of my domicile is very favourable I think... I'm living in the north-west part of Germany ( Jormany ), in Lower Saxony , almost on the border to the Netherlands (only a few kilometres - 20 or something ). The point is Britain is not so far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'd have thought you might stand a chance there - no big hills in the way for a start Check out a decent aerial arrangement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyne_Bridge 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) no big hills in the way for a start 183770[/snapback] That's right - here are really no hills to jam receivement I tried to find any transmittation (transmission ? ) mentioned here but no chance... Today evening there is the UEFA Cup 2nd qualifying Round match against Ventspils (I think you all know this ) and I'm not at home and now I'm afraid I will not be able to listen to a commentary (I could not carry my whole PC - System with me )... wtf should I do? btw I don't get the use of the links you gave me Edited August 24, 2006 by Tyne_Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
