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

Now Just An Extension of Talk Sport

One of the main reasons I listened to this station was to get away from wall to wall sport. If I wanted that I'd listen to Talk Sport or one of the zillion other channels streaming that nonsense. I thought I'd found an oasis of sanity. Seems I was mistaken. So along with very many others, I'll be taking my listening elsewhere. Bye.

BIG MISTAKE

Dropping the early breakfast shows so we can listen to sporting drivel is a huge mistake. I loved James Max and Christo. The company is clearly on a cost cutting mission and they are failing to retain their faithful listeners. I think this channel is on the way out.

Why oh why are they reverting to talk…

Why oh why are they reverting to talk sport at the weekend, the Muppets at the top never learn, If I want sport I will tune into Talk Sport, I liked my weekend radio as it was, as I am sure many other listeners do. The Muppets have just lost a hugh amount of listeners, WELL DONE!

Feel the programme is a set up mainly adver show.

I hate to say this but this station is very poor. Cannot speak to anyone and I have really tried only get a Mike Graham voice recording and nothing. The people that do "appear" to get through all say Hello Mike Great Show as Usual. How can an mainly advert show be great? It is not great as over run with the most awful adverts ever. Some terrible actor called Mark, supposed to have won a lottery and has tears in his eyes. He also voice overs a food market advert. The women who keeps stating a scratch card is the best gift ever makes me scream. Every couple of minutes these gastly adverts. Now old Mike Graham is banging on about the American Election and how he will be reporting right through the night. Why why why? What idiot will want to hear an advert show with a few snippets about some results as full results will not be known for days later. They are pro Trump for obvious reasons and do not represent the personalities or policies in a balanced way. I think Peter Cardwell is a really decent person but he will not challenge properly. When Labour supporters state about poor pensioners can claim pension credits that is ridiculous. If you are on £12000 per year state pension you are not deemed poor enough. Even Age UK state that the bar is set very LOW to be able to make a pension credit claim. Plus the Triple Lock on very very little is very very little, poverty in fact. Plus because the tax allowance is frozen more and more pensioners will have to pay tax on poverty money. Peter Cardwell does know all this but does not give a forceful and informed response. Alex Phillips screeches her way through her programme becoming more and more hysterical (banging on about her other half) and Jeremy Kyle god help us. He states back in 3 I'm going for a wee. It feels to me that the majority of the calls are just a set up.

No more Talk Radio/tv forvme

Oct 24. Fed up to say the least and no more Talk Radio for me. Newest Schedule changes have remived Cristo from Early morning Breakfast and Andre reduced to Thursday night only. Csn’t stsnd Jeremy Kyle. Get tid ofvhim and give Cristo a new shift and retain Andre and Ash. I do not want Spirt coverage st the weekends in a Talk Radio Station. Fed up!

Common sense

Excellent discussion from Mike in the morning to Kev at night. Expect arguments from all sides of the political spectrum as they allow contributions from all sides, unlike their competitors. Expect mostly common sense though...

Overrun with advert after advert

It used to be brilliant but now whenever I tune in its either an advert or a vignette advertising itself. The actual time presenters spend actually presenting has reduced significantly. I appreciate its commercial radio but when it gets to the stage of more adverts than actual presenters then I just turn off.

I really enjoy watching Talk on…

I really enjoy watching Talk on television all the presenters are so professional and have a good sense of humour!
The online downside is the amount of adverts. However I always recommend it to family and friends.

Talk radio is the worst station ever

Talk radio is the worst station ever. Terrible presenters including Mike Graham, right wing views, uneducated and crap tabloid journalists who an have an IQ of about 0 percent would not recommend this station to my dog let alone friends or family full of aboloute garbage

My last review was removed

My last review was removed, racism and misinformation is repeatedly shared by this platform. Trustpilot emailed to say they had a large amount of bad reviews and that I would have to prove it, but there are two many examples. Perhaps look at just one person's constant examples for instance Julia Hartley Brewer is a regular offender

Another change in line up to try to…

Another change in line up to try to halt dwindling listening figures and its just as bad.. Gone is shouty kyle and some woman no-one has heard of and in comes the hateful and obnoxious Mike Graham. Julia Hartley Brewer takes time off from holidaying with Tice, Farage and Maitliss to present at 10.00 which essentially involves her shouting at anyone that has a contrary opinion to hers, O'Sullivan and Philips continue their banal pro-Reform rantings and James Max populates his slot with a collection of deluded people who just love the sound of their own voice, but contribute little or no intelligent, incisive or original thought. Why pay James Max a fee for faciltating this rubbish? Just play white noise, it will deliver the same results.. I used to listen to TalkRadio to hear predominatnly right wing views as a balance to the more left wing views of other media channels, but it has got so bad that it just isnt worth the effort. Its been taken off the TV for good reason...Sensible politicians avoid appearing on the channel for good reason so they just get the same old busted flush politicos who cant get a voice anywhere else - Ian Duncan-Smith for one.. The sooner this channel dies the better. Let the presenting dinosaurs become extinct, no one else would ever employ them so let them go peacefully to their end. TalkRadio is the Departure Lounge for Journalists ending their careers.
