Free To Air TV Coverage of England cricket & Test Match Special commentary: slight reprise#
Today, 14th July, there is a slight reprise of something that a generation ago, was common for cricket lovers.
The World Cup Final at Lords, where England play New Zealand, is free to air on TV. As usual the BBC’s Test Match Special will provide ball by ball commentary on the radio.
Many up to the 2005 Ashes which was the last free to air series covered on TV (by Channel 4) combined the two. In the last 14 years that has only been possible for Sky subscribers.
The TV coverage and radio commentary are slightly out of sync but in 2019 there are radios where you can delay the broadcast by a few seconds to address this.
The main thought is, having got TV coverage free to air and TMS combined again, why not do it a lot more often?
