Very good reception, English service.  Interesting, I don't recall English service ever starting at half past the hour like this transmission.  I'd guess it is to catch football kick off at 1530 utc.  Two of the top three squads (Manchester City/Arsenal) facing off at The Etihad.

1528 Suddenly on "Hey Brother" Avicii
1529 OM with pre-game coverage, gives line ups.  "Martinelli on bench.  These teams have met twice already.  Welcome to BBC World Service listeners as we come to you on 5Live."
1532 "Walker and Stones are not playing...."
1534 "Gabriel Jesus escaped without a yellow, should have been one."
1542 OM high pitched "Haaland in the area..."
1543 "Manchester City nil, Arsenal nil"
1546 "Ake just didn't get enough on header."
1555 "Ortega able to grasp onto ball and stays down."
1600 "We shall hear from Jurgen Klopp at half time."
1601 "Gabriel Jesus misses just wide to the right."
1604 "A tight match between two Premier League title contenders."
1618 Halftime, ID.

Just a quick note, you're posting EST instead of UTC. I only have a weak carrier here in Colorado.
This is also on 17640 but likewise I've got nothing but a weak carrier there. 21470 is out of Vatican City and 17640 is on Ascension Island.
