The screen has already briefly turned black in the S4C broadcast of Dragons v. Scarlets and we only just started the team sheets. Might be an even longer afternoon for everyone at BBC Central Square.
Odd there was no radio coverage today, especially with it derbies. Ironically there is radio coverage of the second match (in English only), but I doubt if S4C would fall back on that if there is technical issues with this broadcast.
In fact, Radio Cymru especially has been reducing its sport coverage this season. Whilst in previous seasons, DAB or Radio Cymru 2 would cover Swansea and Cardiff matches in midweek, there has been nothing at all this year, even on Friday with a full set of fixtures.

They played out a Nigel Slater filler before getting back on course with the schedule - not before the duty announcer-director pointed towards the BBC Sport app to get the result (Ospreys won)
Didn't even have any radio commentary or reporters to fall back on.
Quite embarrassing all round, really.
