Dab has all the FM content until ~7pm when they switch to footie.... FM reception is pants in my office and we have Linux boxes so I can't even listen online as the permissions are restricted. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4540#post-48219 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:56:48 +0000 amir 48219@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cycling!!</p> <p>Also curling, tennis, golf ...<br /> (many including female)</p> <p>Football - perhaps not so good </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4540#post-48218 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:48:52 +0000 Min 48218@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"It's strange, given which sports Scotland is world class in. "</p> <p>Judo? Elephant Polo?</p> <p>I have never bothered with sports pages, not so much because they are almost exclusively football but because they are almost exclusively male. Nothing of interest for me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4540#post-48215 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:22:31 +0000 Nelly 48215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>kaps,</p> <p>I am also not a BBC Scotland fan. </p> <p>Their parochialism knows no bounds, and (if you delved deeper) you would see that it is barely more than a mouthpiece for both major glasgow football clubs (meaning they enjoy the lions share of the 59% total).</p> <p>So, IMO its not even as <em>good</em> as you suggest !</p> <p>I get so much more out of downloaded Guardian, or main BBC sport site, which (not perfect) but gives decent nods to other sports. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4540#post-48209 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:34:06 +0000 amir 48209@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's strange, given which sports Scotland is world class in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4540#post-48206 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:27:26 +0000 kaputnik 48206@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For some reason, I ended up on the BBC Scotland "Sport" <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/default.stm">webpage</a>.</p> <p>I've always <strike>suspected </strike>known that this is basically a football website in all but name.</p> <p>I counted up the links (there are 75).</p> <p>84% football (73% of these, or 59% of the entire page is Premier league specific)<br /> 8% Rugby Union<br /> 3% Golf<br /> 3% Boxing<br /> 1% Tennis<br /> 3% were general links to BBC's own sports services</p> <p>The Golf, Boxing and Tennis stories relate to specific matches (i.e. they're not generic / regular coverage).</p> <p>Kind of pathetic "balance", isn't it. </p>
