I emailed Radio Devon as I wanted to be sure they were aware how poor Tuesday's commentary was, and received the following reply from Mark Grinnell which he asked to be shared.
Thank you for your comments about last night’s Exeter City V Morecambe match commentary on BBC Radio Devon.
I am writing one response to all four people who have messaged me, because you’ve all made the same points and in the spirit of openness I’m happy for you to share this with the other people who you say are discussing this.
While it’s not appropriate to comment on the performance of the team on air last night, you should know that we had to make a very late change to our booked commentary team and we’re grateful to Pete and Hannah for covering the match. I think the team did the best job they could in very difficult circumstances for the match, particularly given all the restrictions we’re working under at the moment. However, if the programme you heard fell below the standards you normally associate with BBC Radio Devon, then I’m very sorry.
I’m happy for you to come back to me direct if you have any further comments or feedback and I hope you’ll continue to listen to our sports coverage on Radio Devon, it’s something I feel is a very important part of our service to you.
