BBC Radio Suffolk Agree New Commentary Deal - Ipswich Town News

BBC Radio Suffolk has agreed a new commentary deal with the club which will see them cover Town games home and away until the end of the 2017/18 campaign.

Brenner Woolley will continue his role as commentator with regular summariser Mick Mills joining him at Brentford for the season opener at Griffin Park on Saturday (KO 3pm).

Charlotte Spackman, Radio Suffolk's assistant editor, said: "This is great news for our listeners who follow the fortunes of Ipswich Town on BBC Radio Suffolk. It means more great commentary on every game, interviews and analysis."

Town MD Ian Milne added: "We are very pleased to continue our long relationship with BBC Radio Suffolk. We will continue to increase our contribution to the shows presented by Mark Murphy, Etholle George and Brenner Woolley."

Saturday sees the return of Life’s a Pitch with Mark Murphy, Kevin Beattie, Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham.

The show, which will be live from Portman Road when the Blues are at home, will be in its regular noon to 2pm slot throughout the season, although this Saturday it will end at 1pm and will be followed by a documentary, Mick McCarthy: In His Own Words, which is also being broadcast on Friday at 4pm.
