About Times Radio
Times Radio is a national news and current affairs station from the people behind The Times and The Sunday Times newspapers. It offers intelligent conversation, expert analysis and in-depth interviews, with a calmer, more thoughtful tone than many other talk stations. On this page you can listen to Times Radio live online for free, without an app or account.
A newspaper on the radio
Times Radio launched in June 2020, bringing the journalism of one of Britain's oldest newspapers to the airwaves. It is owned by News UK through its Wireless radio business, which also runs talkSPORT, talkRADIO and Virgin Radio. From the start the station set out to attract listeners who want serious news and discussion, with fewer adverts and longer conversations than traditional commercial talk radio.
What is on Times Radio
The schedule is built around the news. Weekday breakfast programmes cover the morning's headlines and political interviews, and through the day well-known broadcasters and journalists host programmes on politics, business, world affairs, culture and ideas. The station regularly interviews senior politicians, foreign correspondents and experts from The Times, and it covers elections, budgets and major international stories with special programming. Weekends bring a more relaxed mix of culture, books, food and lifestyle conversation. The station refreshes its line-up from time to time, so check the official schedule for the latest presenters.
