Bbc radio wales had the scum on a few weeks back when I was in Pembrokeshire on a Saturday.

Is there an alternative frequency that our commentary would be on or something?
 
FM in the locality
MW - Radio Wales is only on one frequency (882)

Internet radio generally blocks match commentary & I have no idea on DAB.

If someone in the FM area is able to re-broadcast it, via internet is the best option, or if you have IPTV that covers radio stations that might do it.
 
I live in Tonyrefail, Rhondda and it's mainly live coverage of the scum games. I get that Cardiff are nearer but I know of lots of Jacks in the Rhondda and have complained to Radio Wales, asking them for a choice. For example , Cardiff on FM throughout Wales, Swans on MW all over Wales, Newport on DAB and possibly Wrexham online, or something similar. I never received a response to the email I sent...

Anyone remember paltalk listened to many Swans games this way back in the day.

Paltalk was my Swans lifeline when I first moved over here.

A great group of people to chat with. No nastiness and usually good music at halftime
😀😀

yep lived in Essex was only way listen full match back day when iptv wasn't a thing and we was in championship so very few televised games
 
I used to be able to listen Radio Wales on AM all the way down to London back in the day. Used to lose it around the M4/M25 junction.

Oh yes 😀
If we scored, you could hear the guy who broadcast it, celebrating 🤣. Great stuff
A very belated thanks to whoever used to set that up 👍

No nastiness!?! I remember a user called Tommy ten knives or something like that threatening to slice me up bad during one match!
 
I remember flicking through the coms and there was one guy who used to do a Scottish old 2nd Div match East Fife or some such who was actually there doing the com of the game in the stand and briadcasting it, dial-up internet oh happy days.

I know a couple of would take over and broadcast what we could on some days. One day I had the webcam and my wife had come back from an afternoon shift at half time and started to get undressed - that was a very quick shut off.
Paul used to put some of his favourite music on :)

On the other topic I get annoyed with Radio Wales and how they split the areas. Cardiff seem to be on everywhere apart from Swansea area. The Cardiff game is still on as I drive on the M4 at Port Talbot. I have been in Cardigan and Pembrokeshire and no Swansea game but Cardiff on. I work a lot of Saturdays at the moment and since Swansea sound have stopped coverage I an relying on being in a West area that RW define as West for Swansea. Absolute joke
