Radio City blatant bias

[Gunny79]

Being Liverpool's No.1 Radio Station and virtually the only major station to get news on Everton, Radio City 96.7 (until recently) was the station I tuned into on the hour religiously.

For a while now the lack of ANY news about Everton has been blatant, whilst without fail LFC always seem to be mentioned, no matter if it's the most irrelevant, mundane or pointless bit of 'news'.

This morning, tuned in thinking they'd have t report on our win last night and maybe hear Koemans thoughts, nope. No mention at all yet they felt mentioning a LFC player I've never heard of is going out on loan to a lower league club?

This has nothing to do with being upset with LFC, they don't run radio city. Is it too much to ask to have parity and fairness from 96.7 when it comes to reporting on the city's biggest passion?

Other radio stations are available.

He is aware of that I would imagine, he is making a point that Liverpool's Radio Station (like the echo) has no interest in us whatsoever

Incredibly the LFC echo gave us more pages AND the back pages today. Still, I expect someone to be sacked today for that or, at the very least, bullets in the top drawer of their desk.

Very similar to the Echo in that fact.

Then he should treat them with the contempt they deserve.

I think @silent bob is suggesting that isn't something unfamiliar to most Blues: the local media have for a long-time appeared to show a Red bias.

And unfortunately, neither can many fans seeing this changing any time soon. I don't think Bob's being negative about the original posters views.

Let's be honest, Radio City will keep regularly talking about that shower as it benefits their business as the Red's fans fuel their own superiority.

And the Echo will keep writing countless pages about them, while we get very little focus, as it again benefits their business to do so.

Radio city is owned by a manchester based company now so they will only have generic general news in there and in the time frame will probably just go to liverpool over us.

Same as juice / capital are no longer scouse, all run by corporate business so liverpool more likely to get a mention over us.

They mentioned it briefly at 8.30. Even listened to a clip from Koeman saying that he wasn't happy with first half.

But I agree that they do show biased towards them just like the echo.

Radio City Talk do shows focused particularly on Everton, so if you do want primarily Everton information there's always that option.

Steve Hothersall's show in the morning is also pretty fairly balanced between them and us as well.
