Excellent reception....opening weekend for English Premier League.  Live coverage Manchester United v West Ham from Old Trafford, Manchester.  First half action, I think BBC does a frequency change at 1600z to frequencies that I haven't been able to receive.  Then to 15400 at 1700z.

1523z Two OM's on play by play, "Manchester United nil, West Ham nil"  Comments about United winning Europa league last season.
1526z "606 for commentary about the match afterwards on 5 Live. Mata with a shot on goal cleared away by a West Ham defender.  Still nil-nil"
1533z "He scores, on his Premier League debut, that's what they got him for, Lukaku.  United 1 West Ham nil.  Rashford's pass was excellent."
1545z "There will be one minute of added time."  "Shot on goal by West Ham, sa-a-a-ve"
1546 "Halftime United 1 West Ham nil"  Canned ID by YL "You're listening to the Premier League Live on 5 Live"
1547z Two studio OM's on first half match analysis...."First from the earlier match of the day, Tottenham starting off as they left off, 2-nil at St. James Park."
1559z Sign off/frequency change....can't receive 17830

Now 15400am
1724z Football discussion (excellent reception), Sanchez move from Arsenal to PSG rumors.
1740z Discussion about Usain Bolt/Track & Field
