According to their web page, ( http://www;.bbc.co.uk/radio5 )Radio 5,
which I believe handles most of the sports output of the BBC,
broadcasts on 909 kHz and 693 kHz medium wave. So a good long distance
medium wave radio should do the trick.

I've travelled around Europe a lot and reception of R5 Live in the French
Alps is only really possible at night. During the day, the ground wave
signal starts to get very weak as you travel further away from the English
Channel. The Brookmans Park 693 kHz signal is the one to try. If he's a
cricket fan, then BBC Radio 4's LW transmission on 198 kHz just might reach.
