I do wonder what the point of something like this is.

How many listeners will it have realistically? I’d expect most people who are staying up will have the telly on. If you’re listening in bed or wherever, the BBC’s coverage or Times Radio have got to be better equipt options?

I think a lot of small and community radio stations just want to be seen to be doing something, even if they know realistically very few people are listening. Plus there will still be a few people on shift work in places like factories and petrol stations who have the radio on, often without being able to switch stations. RNH also provides a service to English speaking stations abroad, where I could see the coverage might be appreciated.

I wonder if they’ll provide opt points for stations who are wanting to insert updates on local results.
