After many years of listening to radio devons sports programs I am appalled at the decision to dispense with any sports broadcasts in the north devon area during the coming football season. It seems that it if you live in any other part of the county you have a choice of listening on a saturday afternoon but despite having the same two frequencies in north devon you will not recieve the program. The cited reason that there is a lack of sports interest in north devon is complete nonsense. Come on radio devon - get your act together. Many listeners in North Devon, unfortunately, do not have a choice because FM reception is not available in certain areas.
Medium wave is all they have got.
We are running four separate services on Saturday afternoons, and that is stretching our resources to the limit. I am far from convinced that our North Devon medium wave service should broadcast regular commentaries on Torquay United. A classic example of not being able to please all the people all of the time. Why is it that Exeter Falcons get virtually no coverage on BBC TV or Radio. They have one of the best teams in the Country, unlike our football teams in the lowest possible division.
