From Talk Radio to talkSPORT
The station started life in 1995 as Talk Radio UK, a national speech station on medium wave. In January 2000 it relaunched as talkSPORT, devoting its schedule to sport, and it has grown into one of the most recognisable brands in British radio. talkSPORT is now owned by News UK through its Wireless group, which also runs talkSPORT 2, talkRADIO, Times Radio and Virgin Radio.
Commentary, debate and banter
Football is at the heart of talkSPORT. The station broadcasts live commentary on Premier League matches and other major competitions, and its phone-in shows give fans the chance to celebrate, complain and argue about every result. Breakfast and drive-time programmes bring together former players, managers and journalists to debate the biggest stories, while the rest of the schedule covers boxing, cricket, rugby, horse racing and much more. Its sister station talkSPORT 2 adds even more live sport, from cricket to Formula 1 and tennis.
