Very much agree with this. I listened to the majority of the first game the last two days on Radio 5 Live, and the energy of it all does feel extra heightened through the radio. Despite two not regular voices to 5 Live commentaries, in Chris Coles and Lee Blakeman, and those matches liking being done from Salford I'd wager, the coverage and commentary was excellent and very enjoyable

It's not been widely publicised elsewhere but 5 Live have been telling listeners that they can get their radio commentaries synced with the TV pictures on iPlayer (when the BBC are showing that match).

I've also realised that Chappers is fronting a lot of the pre and post match 5 Live programming from Berlin (because he does telly too). So the BBC obviously have radio broadcast facilities somewhere in the capital too.
