Having realised how successful Real Radio was with its football coverage, Radio Wales obtained the rights ahead of RR, which is why they only broadcast Cardiff games in the Cardiff area and so on.
We now have virtually uninterrupted coverage of all of our games, bar score updates. If there's a need to get an update from elsewhere they do when there's a break in action. There is little live rugby on Radio Wales as there's no interest in it beyond the biggest games. Often that's put on medium wave.
