Only decent presenter is Ian Collins. Mike Graham turns around every conversation to about himself. And as for that Julia Hartley-Brewer woman, just awful, loves the sound of her own voice, always tal... See more

I used to listen religiously between 6-9 every morning while walking my dog. Since Shouty Kyle has taken over I cannot bear listening to the show. The whole format is rubbish inane and childish and Ky... See more

I used to love the morning breakfast show with Julia, who is intelligent & a serious journalist, not afraid to challenge guests. I don’t understand why Nicola has been given a prime time slot, which h... See more

Will the bosses tell JHB to ask the SODDING question instead of interminable rambling? The questions to guests take too long to ask! At least she is on today rather than on holiday as she always seems... See more

Only decent presenter is Ian Collins

Only decent presenter is Ian Collins. Mike Graham turns around every conversation to about himself. And as for that Julia Hartley-Brewer woman, just awful, loves the sound of her own voice, always talking over guests and callers so never get to hear them properly. Hasn't a clue about half the subjects she is an 'expert' on, ie. she is an expert on Ukraine and Russian history (not), you can even tell which newspaper she got her facts from on any given day.

Grooming station for Reform

Grooming station for Reform! It’s taken me a while but I now realize that Talk Radio with few exceptions is a grooming station for Reform and their uber priest Donald Yrump. Most vocal are a few lads who like dressing up for Cheltenham.

Heavly Biased

Presenters can be fun but the news is no near reliable neither is presenters opinions in particular regarding minorities with exceptions of jews.

I am conservative but not enough stupid to believe Israel have the the tight to massacre others.

Most presenters are talking heads of an extreme biased news media

‘Customer service’ doesn’t respond

‘Customer service’ doesn’t respond. Get an automated acknowledgement but never an answer. I can’t log in as the keyboard the website supplies doesn’t work properly. One less listener for them unfortunately.
Completely agree with previous reviewers about the awful weekend afternoon schedule. I like sport but it’s there on Talk Sport, not sure who thought it was a good idea…..

Christmas card

Christmas card - what Christmas card?. Peter Cardwell made a promise that whoever sent their address to Talk and didn't recieve xmas cards this year that he would send one. Virtue signaling or what? This station only appear to take calls from regulars. Weird that. Doubt whether the pledged xmas card will come.

A terrible one sided small minded radio station. Nothing but drivel of a right wingers political narrative. No balance, no attempt at balance. Poor content of presenter and guest trying to out do each other on who can be the most rude to the British public.
Ofcom should I hope be looking into some of the hate speak I have listened to.
I very right leaning American thought way of discussing politics.
If only they were strong enough in there views to put their arguments up to scrutiny and balance but that would mean not blasting their right wing tripe.

Talk's latest changes are a bit weird

Talk's latest changes are a bit weird. The good news is getting shot of Christo Foufas who was overtly gay in a cringe way. 4 hours of Mike Graham every week day morning is a bit much - he's excellent but now too much repitition & often depressing not uplifting. Petrie Hosken is a light weight presenter too flakey to be on every night imo. Too much emphasis on sport now when sister stationTalk Sport is dedicated to this. Alex Phillips excellent. Peter Cardwell too woke by half. David Bull my absolute favourite of them all but why no Renee Hoenderkamp with him anymore - that's a mistake. The worst thing about Talk Radio though, is the rediculous amount of awful adverts that take up 35% of the day (yes I know this is their revenue stream) - especially the same companies continuous stream of garbage i.e National Lottery & MacDonalds oh & EE - these are the biggest turn off!!

Reading the other reviews and so agree about the awful decision to cut Cristo”s show, Dr Renee, and Alex Phillips.
These three are the best people and are very much missed from Talk.
I can only say that there must be more money paid to the owner - to change to broadcast more sport.
I have changed to other channels for the weekend viewing.

Sooo disappointed with the latest set…

Sooo disappointed with the latest set of changes to TalkTV, you lost me to GB News weekdays when you went on YouTube as it’s so poor on YouTube and cuts off randomly towards the end of the schedule and has just lost its edge for me, but I can’t give up Dr David Bull on a weekend, yet now you’ve changed the weekend lineup too .. where is Dr Renee??? What on earth??? I’m really missing Dr Renee ☹️ Hers and David’s knowledge, professionalism and dynamic is the best on tv in my opinion. The powers that be clearly have not done their research and do not understand their viewer/listener demographic .. or it’s a cost cutting exercise .. if I wanted sport i wouldn’t tune in to your channel! I and many others want unbiased professional journalists and presenters telling it like it is, and you are getting further and further away from this now. The only good thing that could happen for me now is if Dr David could join GB News and join forces back with Dr Hoenderkamp. I’m hanging onto talk weekend breakfast by a thread here so anymore changes and I’ll be fully fledged GB News 😡

What on earth possessed the powers to be to butcher the weekend schedule, especially Saturday nights and stopping The Late Night Show in preference to Sport ...if I wanted that I would go to Talksport.. a bad move and I for one won't be watching, Andre and Danielle were fantastic Saturday night viewing hugely disappointed with the new weekend schedule
