Just want to let you all know that I can confirm I shall be staying on Wish FM summarising Wigan matches (when we are the commentary match) home and away for the rest of the season with our regular Match Commentator Mark Wilson.

Sadly this Friday isn't a commentary match but Bradford (H), Widnes (Cup), Saints (A), (potential cup semi), Hull KR (H) all will be covered in full.

I've been doing all the away games on Wish (bar magic) since we won 84-6 at Hull KR on Easter Monday and it's been very well received.

Having done CherryandWhite.co.uk for 12 years now I don't think I need to express how passionate I am for this club but hope you will give us a go next time we are on, if you haven't done so before, so we can share the passion for our club together if you can't make the games itself. Even if you can make the games, take your mobiles headphone and listen in at them!

Congrats pal, well deserved

Shame the commentary isnt every game

Really pleased for you Bilko....

Indeed but when theirs a clash a choice has to be made and even being biased I'd still say Saints v Hull KR looks a better game that ours v Cas.

However being able to offer at split online coverage of every match is on a list of potential improvements going forward.
The more people listen in to us the more bargaining we will have.

Not that easy being a commercial station these days.

A Wigan station should prioritise Wigan games

The world needs more bilkos

It's a Wigan & St Helens station though.
WI for Wigan
SH for St Helens
WISH

When theres a clash put one on WISH FM and the other on the computer like GMR do .Both clubs happy then.

In my experience there are often problems when listening to Wish on line

Sounds simple but its easy to do when the public is picking up the bill. Like I said it is an idea down the line though.



What are you using to listen with? The online figures have been excellent in recent weeks, at record levels. Helped to be fair that we got a long run of non televised away games but still.

Ive never had an issue listening online, works really well using the TuneIn Radio app on android

I've listened using both the Wish FM site and tunein and they both work fine. I think Hull KR in the cup there was a little technical issue at the beginning? But apart from that everythings spot on.

I'm not doubting the figures. Indeed, I am a regular on line listener when I'm away for the weekend. I listen via iPhone linked to a portable wireless router. I have occasional problems with the router signal as I am often in different places but have had Wish's feed drop out sometimes for a minute or 2 for no apparent reason.

I was trying to understand what you are using to listen so I could point you to alternative things to try. I always recommend the "TuneIn" App myself.

Yeah that was at Bradford. One of those things that one. BBC Leeds behind us where affected also that day but because they had the ability to jump to other matches it wouldn't have been noticed on that station.

I'm going to write about the radio experience in the next Cherry&White Fanzine article I do.

I think I downloaded the app from Wish's website. Would Tunein be better? Excuse my ignorance!

Well I use Tune In myself as it covers thousands of stations worldwide - including all the BBC's, Wish FM etc. I can't really advise whether its better because everyones connection speeds are different but no harm in you trying it.

For the reason it covers them all, its what I link to on my rugbyleagueontv.co.uk page and on that pages twitter.

I like tuneIn as you can basically favourite all the station you listen to so if you are regularly using a station it makes it easy

I have unlimited data so just use 3g
