ESB CAMPAIGN: Get the Bunce Boxing Hour on 5Live

The BBC Boxing Hour is currently only avalible in London yet manages to recieve huge download figures on iplayer and itunes. The highest rated show on BBC London radio I beleive. Its time the show was given a national platform on Radio 5 Live which would increase its auduince and help with the overall popularity of the sport in this country. Currently we have the sporadic 5Live Boxing show 10x a year which recieves no advertising, podcast and therefore cannot gain momentum to push the sport.

So how can we help I hear you cry....send an email like our usual campaigns??? Well currently the BBC Trust our running a review of BBC5Live and 5Live Extra.

They state that

"At the BBC Trust it is our responsibility to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers. One of the ways we do this is by carrying out an in-depth review of each of the BBC’s services at least once every five years. This time we are looking at 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra.
As part of our review, we’re asking you to tell us what you think about these stations."

This seems to be the perfect opportunity to push the Boxing Hour to a bigger platform.

They will be running an online survey until the 13th of July. It has 13 questions. Alternitavley you can send a specific email to

This is a major opportunity to get Boxing back onto a national radio platform on a weekly basis. They are asking for our opinions and suggestions so this is the best chance we have.

In the 3 minutes it takes you to make a thread about Amir Khan having no chin and Floyd Mayweather being a chicken, you can get fill out the questionaire.

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to do it.

 

Everytime I start one of these campaigns you get a bunch of twats coming on and saying it will never work and we will never listen. Please note the 3 other campaigns I started on this forum all had success.



Get Froch back on Sky

I am in no way claiming responsibilty but we did have a small, very small part to play and got a response to the campaign from Carl on his twitter account.


Get Choi in Prizefighter

Choi was in Prizefighter. The day the campaign started we recieved responses from Matchrooms matchmaker and well wishes from Spencer Fearon Choi's promoter. Eddie & Barry Hearn have specificly mentioned the ESB campaign to get him in.


US Promoters show us your fights

This lead to regular email contact with members of Gary Shaws team and email contact with staff at Golden Boy, DiBella Entertainment and Goosen Tutor. All email contacts were pass on to Premier Sports who have shown cards promoted by the companys above.

 

if you listen to the monthly 5live boxing it thats not really a problem.

 

Theres obviosuly an audience for a more domestic based boxing show as the listen again and download figures are "phenominal"
