Radio Leeds, Bradford City podcast.

Sorry -out of the blue and I am bored. Is this the reason why City are always trumped by either Leeds or Hudders for DAB, - the contracts are negotiable, and in this case City don't bargain or pay enough? In my naevety I thought media paid clubs for coverage.

Whatever the reason, bloody annoying for me as I live outside the FM range, but can always get our local rivals on DAB.

 

Leeds Utd are always on FM first as are we when Leeds aren’t playing. When all three clubs are playing at the same time Leeds Utd get FM City and Huddersfield get DAB in their area. Radio Leeds pay us not the other way round.

I can see why it’s annoying for you, but I hate when it’s on DAB. The coverage on my way home along Manningham Lane and Otley Road to Baildon is shocking. The signal keeps cutting out and it’s really frustrating. On FM it’s perfect so I much prefer it.

 

Harry is a talker for sure
Thought he came across really well, looking forward to the next one.

 

Funny that because I go that way home to Burley in Wharfedale and the DAB signal is fine until I'm nearly there. FM is much better though, I agree. In my opinion analogue sound is much preferable to digital for music especially. The only advantage of digital, and it's a big advantage, is for streaming, but whenever I can I listen to music on FM.

 

The latest Take me home podcast features a 2 part interview with our ex goalkeeper Harry Lewis, comes over as a really nice bloke and talk’s about his almost transfer to Barnsley,that Stockport wanted him as well and his eventual move to Carlisle which didn’t go very well for him. He claims Graham Alexander barely spoke to him but I imagine that Alexander was happy to see him leave and get a fee for him as Lewis had a very poor 2nd season at City. Incidentally in these days of undisclosed fees Lewis says Barnsley offered £250,000 but it included a lot of staged payments and Carlisle paid £175,000 for him.
