Are these commentaries going to be available on sky or just DAB like Leeds United matches?

Hope it doesn't mean an end to Radio Leeds coverage, as the Leeds United deal did, as that meant there was no coverage on my car radio of Leeds United gamers until Yorkshire Radio did a deal with Minster FM (first live game this week), so if this is the same scenario I can only say I don't welcome it, if it's additional to the Radio Leeds coverage then it is a welcome addition.
