Where to Watch Shrewsbury Town vs Cambridge United: BBC Radio Commentary Teams Revealed

Football fans looking to follow the League One clash between Shrewsbury Town and Cambridge United on 5th April 2025 have two excellent BBC local radio options for live commentary. With a traditional 3pm Saturday kick-off, the match won't be televised live in the UK due to the Saturday afternoon blackout, making radio the best way to follow the action.

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire Coverage

Cambridge United supporters can tune into BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for full match commentary. The experienced Mark Johnson will lead the commentary from the press box. Johnson has been BBC Radio Cambridgeshire's sports editor since 2014 and has covered Cambridge United's journey from non-league back to the Football League. He'll be joined by co-commentator Doug Shulman, a former Cambridge United player who made over 100 appearances for the club between 1991-1995.

BBC Radio Shropshire Coverage

Shrewsbury fans have their own dedicated coverage on BBC Radio Shropshire FM. The broadcast will be presented by Nick Southall, who has been part of BBC Radio Shropshire's sports team since 2016. Commentary comes from Stuart Dunn, a familiar voice to Shrewsbury supporters having covered the club for over a decade. Providing expert analysis is former Shrewsbury midfielder Jamie Tolley, who made 127 appearances for the club between 2006-2009 and later became a coach in their academy setup.

The Importance of the Fixture

This League One encounter could prove crucial at both ends of the table as we enter the business end of the season. League One is known for its competitiveness, and both teams will be desperate for points. The radio commentary teams will bring all the tension and drama to life for listeners who can't be at the Croud Meadow stadium.

For those wanting to follow online, both BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and BBC Radio Shropshire streams are available via the BBC Sounds app and website, ensuring supporters can listen wherever they are in the UK.
