It's Not Just Cricket
I don't know if you caught Radio Scotland's coverage of the Scotland-Pakistan cricket international this week, but our sports team got very exicted about it, especially Geoff Webster who provided the commentary and, by all accounts, was like a kid in a sweet shop because he's such an enthusiast for the game.
Lurking in the background is Dougie Vipond who also presented one of our Saturday sport documentaries - The Speed Kings of Hawick - about the famous motrobike racers from the Borders.
I love this time of year when in programmes like The Main Event, we're able to cover a wider range of sports, but the small matter of the World Cup means you can't escape football completely. In fact we're just wrestling with the SPL fixture list for next season which means we're likely to have nightly editions of Sportsound instead of bringing back 90 Minutes. So I have to apologise to all of you who suggested new names for 90 Minutes!
One bonus is that we should be able to continue with a music programme between six and seven each weeknight. We've had a phenomenal response to Bryan Burnett's Summer of Song and Colin & Justin's Musical Makeover. But I suspect we'll need new titles when the summer comes to an end.
All suggestions welcome.
