5Live Extra

Utterly disgraceful. A minutes silence before the game and half way through, they switch to a jingle.

Unbelievably ignorant and disrespectful. If they'd done that at a Premier League game, there'd be hell to pay

beat me to it!

disgrace

[scaley back rover]

Agreed

[StocktonRover]

Just a thought, most radio stations have an automatic fall-back to a jingle when there is "dead air" as it thinks that there is a fault.

Maybe it was that?

[lee.j09]

surley a procedure in place for an occasion like that tonight!!

shocking

[IDM]

Didn't hear a jingle? 

[rovinrover52]

Phone ringing as well before the jingle, no respect

I think you're correct, Stockton, but it seems odd that they don't have something in place to deal with such things. It would have been better to say they were going back to the studio for a minute. Having the jingle cutting in sounded dreadfully disrespectful.
