Default Receiving BBC Sport in France - useable on SW?

Hi all
my brother lives in France these days (the Vercors region - in the
mountains near Grenoble) and misses his UK sport. He can get some of it
via the Internet but this isn't quite the same as 'live'. I wondered if
there was enough broadcast (eg via the BBC) on Shortwave, and if so
what class (eg cost) of SW radio might be required for decent reception
in his area. He is not very technical and so is seeking help from me. I
am reasonably technical - even have a class 'A' transmitting licence
from a few lifetimes ago - but I'm well out of touch with what's
available and hope to learn more from being around here.

Any comments received with thanks

Thanks
Jon N
