Last updated 21st Jul 2023
Peterborough United have ended their contract with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as commentary will instead be exclusively available through a new subscription service.
Fans are being asked to pay for 'Posh +' to get their live commentary, costing £6.50 per month, fans can access live audio commentary for each match.
Chris Dowsett and Nilesh Patel are confirmed as our regular commentators.
It will also offer exclusive daily updates and behind the scenes video.
The decision have caused some backlash between fans, with the Posh Independent Supports Association (PISA) saying "at no stage were they consulted about this decision".
In a statement they added: "Had they been asked, their opinion would have been that they disagreed with it for the following reasons.
"The lack of free to air coverage so enjoyed by so many for decades will affect those who cannot attend for various reasons.
"This will put further barriers between the club and fans be that hardcore, casual, or potential."
Head of Media and Content at Peterborough United Phil Adlam said: “We are delighted that Chris and Nilesh have agreed to become our commentators for the season.
"We have taken a lot of feedback from supporters over the last few seasons and understand why there is a need for us to bring this in-house."
A BBC spokesperson said: “The club has chosen to end their agreement with us for the 23/24 season.
"Despite this change, we remain fully committed to covering the Posh both home and away throughout the upcoming campaign.”
