MLB On BBC 5 Live Radio
5 live started broadcasting a Major League Baseball audio feed each Sunday night on the 4th July 2010 with Jonny Gould hosting the broadcast and Josh Chetwynd providing analysis between innings. The series returned in 2011 with an earlier timeslot of 6pm - 10pm every Sunday but Gould was replaced by Nat Coombs.
In July 2012 Smooth Radio announced it had hired Jonny Gould to anchor its extended breakfast sports bulletins during the 2012 Summer Olympics during Simon Bates' Breakfast Show. Bates and Gould had previously worked together on Talk Radio some years earlier. Gould proved to be popular with listeners and continued to present sports updates after the Olympics ended.

Famous quotes containing the words bbc, live and/or radio:
“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of a crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
