The Robins Nest Forum

Just a reminder that, as its the FA Cup, our commentary is available online via the BBC iplayerradio app, BBC Sounds app and online via bbc.co.uk/radiogloucestershire. Its also on DAB as always ... plus FM and Freeview 735. The online feed will only work in the UK due to rights restrictions. M a r k...

As noted above the BBC has spent lots of money placing DAB transmitters across Gloucestershire ( EG Winchcombe & The Forest) but these deliver the BBC national networks. Unfortunately, because of the way DAB works, you can't put BBC Glos on those transmitters. Local DAB has to be delivered on a ...

Hi thanks for the replies, but I wont be able to listen to Cheltenham games unless I drive into town, or perhaps Lands End but not in my own home.?????????? I wish I could fix it for you ... but I can't. We can't get all broadcast platforms to all of the county (see above) and internet sport rights...

So if you live in Winchcombe, then you can fill your boots on Forest Green via AM, but not CTFC on DAB. I note, that according to UK Digital Radio there is BBC Radio Glos DAB coverage at the New Lawn - so at least they can listen to our games, even if you can't in Winchcombe. So with that in mind, ...

Thanks for the excellent coverage. Just one question that is borne out of curiousity than any agenda or insinuation. How was the decision made to allocate FGR to AM and therefore Freeview and CTFC to DAB? When FGR were non league it made sense because the AM frequency feed was used on line through ...

DAB Actually, The BBC has spent money placing a DAB transmitter in Winchcombe and this delivers all the BBC national networks. That's a good use of public money to delivers DAB to an area that regional transmitters can't reach. There are many other small BBC national DAB transmitters in rural parts...

Here are the details of our Cheltenham Town coverage for the 2018/19 season. They are the same as the 2017/18 season. How many CTFC games will have full commentary on the radio? Every single league and cup game, home and away, will have full commentary on the radio Where can I hear the commentaries?...

CTFC v Maidstone United is an FA Cup game and therefore BBC Radio Gloucestershire can put the commentary online. You can listen to it in the UK via the BBC sport website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36722733" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. As with every other Chel...

Hi Reginald, My response re DAB in the Forest of Dean is based simply on government led DAB roll out policy and the way in which DAB multiplexes work No limpness I assure you. I have been very active in getting DAB to Gloucestershire. BBC local radio has to be on the local multiplex and that multipl...

Hi All, To answer a couple of technical points raised. Radio Gloucestershire is on Freeview 735 on transmitters fed by both Mendip (Points West) and Ridge Hill (Midlands today), so if you have Freeview TV in Cheltenham you should see us on your Freeview EPG. Sadly this does not apply to a few Midlan...

Commentary on every CTFC game always on DAB. See faq above.

Tonight’s game also on FM.

Hi all,

Radio Gloucestershire's only role in Robin's Player is that we send our radio output to CTFC's service provider. This is done via a fixed ISDN line. After that what you hear is technically managed by the service provider.

If GRFC aren’t playing, but FGR and CTFC are, we will vary which team goes onto FM.

But CTFC will always be on DAB, FGR will always be on 1413 AM.

Here is the guide to our radio commentary this season. Essentially it is the same as last year with CTFC always on DAB. If you listen to commentary on the radio at the ground, note that all our transmitters (DAB, FM and AM) are all now subject to a digital delay so what you hear in your earphones wi...

Hi all, Here is the updated guide to our commentary in the 2017/18 season. For CTFC it is the same as last season ... every game will always be on DAB.

And, as its the FA Cup, you can listen online in the UK at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04fq985 or ...

At the risk of turning this into a thread that should be on digitalspy.co.uk .... here are some replies to the points you've been raising. The transmitter coverage for local DAB in Gloucestershire is greater than the local FM coverage http://www.muxco.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/gloucs4tx.jpg&quo...

No need to guess, Cheltenham Town commentary is always on DAB. When Gloucester Rugby and/or FGR aren't playing, you may also hear commentary on our FM & AM frequencies and on your Freeview TV (channel 735). This will vary from week to week, but the Robins will always be on DAB digital radio. Her...

Hi All Just remember that commentary of all CTFC games is always on DAB. Whether Gloucester Rugby are playing or not doesn't matter, the commentary is always on DAB. There are evenings (like tonight) where CTFC are on all radio frequencies as well as on Freeview channel 735. DAB covers a much wider ...

Hi all, There's a few points you've been making which I'm more than happy to reply to. Robins player This service is run by the club in conjunction with its audio provider. This is the only way that audio commentary of CTFC league games can be heard online this season as the League hold the internet...

"We also stream home and away commentary on Forest Green Rovers games via the BBC sport website and App. We will broadcast FGR games on AM, Freeview Channel 735 and the iPlayer if CTFC are playing but Gloucester Rugby are not." We cannot put CTFC online ... And whatever we put on AM also ...

So its back to Robins Player for me. Who's responsibility is it to ensure the connection is made from the BBC feed to Robins Player? BBC? CTFC? I would like to be able to prompt whoever when it is not working. It shouldn't go wrong of course, but the key connection between Radio GLOS output and Rob...
