BBC Radio Solent has agreed for a community radio station to
re-broadcast its commentary of all Portsmouth FC games.

Express FM and the local BBC station will each provide their own match
build up, but join together for kick-off, in what is thought to be a
unique arrangement.

The BBC has a policy of supporting community radio, and Express FM's
station director is more than happy with the arrangement: "Our station
is all about Portsmouth and with this new partnership we can continue
to fly the blue-and-white flag with pride.

"We'll also continue our successful series of Pompey discussions and
phone-ins so fans can continue to 'express' their views."

BBC Radio Solent's managing editor Chris Carnegy also serves as
company secretary of Express FM. Adam Blackmore, Solent's sports
editor, said "This is a great result. Commercial radio had ended its
Pompey commentaries while Solent sometimes has to share-out its
frequencies between three League clubs at once, so this deal secures
commentary on an FM frequency, home and away, for Pompey's passionate
army of fans."

The first shared commentary will be on Tuesday, March 1 when Fratton
Park hosts Scunthorpe.
