Just a question to all county fans around the shires..what local media coverage does your team get? In today's climate of online consumerism and competing attractions plus local media in decline how do you keep up to date with news from your team...whether you live nearby or in exile?
To start with Glam...still get match reports in the main regional and national Welsh dailies and Sunday. Also news on local bbc tv and radio including live radio t20.Not as good as before when most one day games were on the radio but now all is on online radio that not all can access.
Glam used to get loads of live games on bbc Wales and s4c showed a few t20s even in the sky era.
Both still do their bit as do itv and local cable with news and score updates..eg radio Wales gives hourly updates and interviews plus has a sport programme every weeknight like radio 5 and have done cricket hours thus proving in this area cricket still retains good prominence and is kept on the national conscience.
From living there I remember Hampshire had and think still enjoy superb coverage especially on bbc solent..All one dayers live, live pre season fans forum too and plenty on local tv news..both sides. Also comprehensive coverage on all the main regional papers.
Living there when Glam had hants test match was an interesting time...The local media was full of it for weeks culminating in the two chairmen having a heated discussion on live radio solent in the pro 40 play off interval interview!
Please add in your thoughts about what your team get...good bad or indifferent? Also your experiences...it would be great to discuss how we all keep in touch with news etc...or do you get all your news from gleaning whilst actually being there?
