Padlad Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Apparently sign up to player and get this: exclusive news and interviews - definitely not, most is on youtube, player is hardly ever updated. Live Audio commentary- only valuable feature extended match highlights - true high quality stream - yeah if it was still 1991. Being an exile I need the radio the rest I can do to without, heard some rumblings about being able to just get radio feature for a lower price is this possible?

The youtube channel has the goals but that is it during the season. I also subscribe to Player purely for the highlights (which are horrendous quality and I have complained to Player several times) and the audio commentary. Unfortunately I don't think there is an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 YouTube gives snippets .Player for all it's faults,has more in depth interviews,match highlights ,archives and the opportunity to listen to live Radio Bristol commentary. It's not too expensive either and for us exiles is a good media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padlad Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 there does seem to be a move to put more on youtube as opposed to player eg. africa tour currently. By match commentary I just meant bbc bristol commentary. Just thought I heard someone from the club (maybe dave l or adam baker) say that their preferred option was to have highlights on youtube and radio as a the only paid part.

Aizoon Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Don't forget that its 'live' commentary is way behind events and totally unreliable. Its main effect is that you can't get RB commentary on the iPhone app despite the fact that you can get all the other shite that RB pumps out - it's contractual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
