Huge step down from what they once were. Consider this a TV channel now. It's what they focus on now, as the radio style plays second fiddle. There's even more focus on performance on camera. They wer... See more

Terrible
Terrible, gambling based shite show
Grand prix ruined by prester who spat out the result with no warning while talking about somthing completly different.
More gambling ads and gambling chat with bookies than actual sport content.
But all ok, as long as you say "Be gamble aware" at the end of the sentence.
Aware! Its 80% of your cintent
This used to be a great radio channel…
This used to be a great radio channel with brilliant commentators and unbiased hosts
Now just negative comments and put downs of teams and no fun
Hip hip hoorah could listen to the Sat…
Hip hip hoorah could listen to the Sat morning show for once with Katie and Tony , turned off since that awful irritating Sheban replaced Natalie , are Talksport actually reading the awful reviews on Sheban on here for once
Terrible talking show now . Bring back the older guys. How more exciting. Terrible.
Crazy rubbish talking rubbish to night. No fun. . Nutts bored. 😔😔😔
Poor biased presenters full of fakes

This station is bang in trouble when Simon Jordan, ally McCoist and Alan Brazil call it a day.
Talksport used to be funny
Talksport used to be funny. Now it's just Gabi Agbonlahor moaning or talking absolute nonsense. If he's not moaning about villa not having any money, he's moaning about arsenal. Cundy and O'hara take the mick out of everyone and they're funny. Gabi is zoolander. He has 2 looks and zero charisma
Rory Jennings
Content creator. Apparently football God when it comes to knowledge and decision making. Rubbish. Unpleasant. Bordering on nasty. Turn off when he is on, similar to Crook and Agbonlahor. This station is getting crapper by the month.
The biggest sporting event in the world…
The biggest sporting event in the world the world cup only happens every 4 years so the bosses of TalkSPORT have had 4 years to prepare for it.But the bosses of TalkSPORT wouldn't know how to organise a p*ss up in a brewery. Instead of bringing in top class pundits who played in world cups they carried on with the same useless presenters they use in the Premier league. Cundy O'Hara Agbonlahor(the worst ever) Bent Aherne Rushden and Durham have the football knowledge of an ant they are just used for clickbait.They couldn't spell football analysis let alone talk it.If they want to be considered a real sports station(some chance) they need to clear out the dross and bring in professional presenters. They have 4 years till the next world cup
What on earth has happened to…
What on earth has happened to Talksport?. I have been listening to Talksport since it began. But my patience has worn thin over recent months - the station is now a shadow of its former self. All the inciteful discussion has disappeared under layer upon layer of meaningless 'click-bait' standard waffle. It's as if there's actually a business plan to drive you elsewhere. The sad thing is that even presenters who had something special are being dragged down to the new poorer version of what was once good quality sports broadcasting.
After almost 20 years I have given up…
After almost 20 years I have given up on talkSPORT. You have to listen to at least 1 advert before you even start, and then you are subjected to an ad break every 12 minutes, I understand it’s commercial radio and I might be able to tolerate it if it wasn’t for the reduction in quality. Some presenters are woeful, SA immediately springs to mind and she never seems to have a day off. The only decent programme now is hawksbee and Jacobs, and whenever Ally Mccoist is on in the morning. There is no alternative radio station unfortunately, I’m not including 5 live which is mostly news, so I think the listening figures are skewed. Generally talkSPORT has served me well over the years on my work commute but it has become intolerable. Farewell. I doubt you’ll miss me
Talk sport completely sold out for money now
Used to love this station.. but in recent years the presenters have become so annoying.. but the main thing is the ridiculous amount of adverts.. simply can't listen longer than 20 mins at most... Just get rid of 59% of adverts and the amount of clips during shows.. it feels 60% of shows are clips. Need and answers.. Hawksby and Jacobs is the only show I can listen to in 2026.. other presenters are just two lots and arrogant.. I realise it's a rage bait station, and it's ruined it for me
Love the station but so frustrating…
Love the station but so frustrating trying to listen to a World Cup Preview show last night and being interupted every few minutes by updates on the womens football
Good points Simon Jordan.
Good points Simon Jordan.
Bad points Jim white, Gobby agbonlahor, and cundy, absolute clowns. Needs a massive overhaul!
Seriously. Click bait
Cundy and Agbonlahor phone in. Utter click bait crap. Very average players in their time rubbishing genuine achievements. Talksport has very few genuinely good presenters but the crap ones are on all the time. Garbage
Piers Morgan is a Bellend
Stop allowing that bellend Piers Morgan spouting his uneducated opinions. The cretin is too heavily involved in world politics and has no clue what hes talking about. He is an embarrassment to society and shouldnt be breathing let alone speaking publicly about sport! Talk sport Please stop entertaining this absolute clown!
Talksport has been going downhill for…
Talksport has been going downhill for maybe seven to eight years. It's crying out for a major overhaul. The central major problem is most and nearly all the presenters can only talk about football and boxing. They try to.put boxing on the same level as football well it isn't. Sure it is popular but there are so many sports just popular that hardly get a mention ie golf, horse racing, darts, cricket, rugby etc.Boring Jim White, Simon 'motormouth'Jordan never mention it. Talksport need to get rid of the thickos, Agbonlahor last week has never heard of lacrosse. He's not alone, Aherne, the appalling Darren Bent, Cundy, Goldstein , O' Hara etc..The only decent all rounders are Matterface, Winter, Crook, Brazil, and McCoist and possibly Saunders. The rest, ditch!
Talksport has gradually gone downhill..........
Talksport has gradually gone downhill. Used to really enjoy listening at any time of the day. I now only tune in to 'White and Jordan'. Simon Jordan is the only presenter who possesses intelligence and common sense. The rest are very average to poor. Shebahn Aherne has very limited knowledge of sport and is a dreadful presenter.
TalkSPORT is now unlistenable
Talksport has been going downhill for years since the owners of The Sun bought it.With the exception of Simon Jordan and the the brilliant Danny Kelly no other show is worth listening to. The standard of presenters you wouldn't find on hospital radio.O'Hara. Cundy, Agbonlahor, Goldstein, Jennings, McCoist and Keown are like 5 year old children.Its just clickbait.But the worst presenter on the station by a country mile is Jimmy Krankie impersonator Shebahn Aherne all she talks about is her husband and kids and what she eats. Who cares?? She has no knowledge of sport at all. Sadly its time to give Andy Jacobs his pension he hi-jacks every show he is on with Chelsea talk its boring
Simon Jordan always worth listening to…
Simon Jordan always worth listening to (though I listen less closely to boxing chat;) and enjoy the dry wit of early afternoon shows/Saturday late morning.
Sadly had to stop listening owing to never knowing when Aherne was going to pop up, seems to have no ability to speak in another tone than loud/very loud or shouting, despite having so little content worth listening to ~ never good when presenters love their own voices more than their audience does. Matterface can be slightly self satisfied/smug and talks although his mind clearly is somewhere else (particularly when plugging sponsors, and giving small print detail ~ little annoying) but one Shebahn Aherne presenter unfortunately killed this station for me
