Radio Everton was at 1602 kHz AM, Match
Days only
 For
a while, local fans who couldn't get to home matches could at listen
to all the pre-match build-up, live match commentary, player
interviews and and some of the worst music known to man. Reception
was only any good within about 10
miles of Goodison Park, but now, you can't even pick it up anywhere. Everton
have pulled the plug on Radio Everton, and we can only wonder at the
reasons. Perhaps its demise is related to the growth of Everton's
official presence on the Internet, with the ending of free radio
transmissions merely a precursor of charges being levied for the Internet
commentary service.
Starting with Charlton
Athletic match in April 1999, the long-awaited audio stream
of Radio Everton finally became available over the Internet, including live
match commentary, initially through
Virgin.net.
The following season, Planet
Football took over the running of Everton's
Official website, and progressively improved the live audio coverage
on matchdays. Now, the website provides live commentary of both home
and away matches, with Darren Griffiths behind the microphone.
