Why are there no (decent) talk radio stations in the UK?

Question

Do you know of any? All I can find is TalkSport, which is great but it's still only about sport.

Answer 1

There is BBC 5 Live 606 or 909 Medium Wave and on Digital Radio

LBC 97.3 FM (London area only but national on Digital and Sky)

BBC Radio 4 has a few call in programmes Saturday 2pm to 2-30pm and Tuesday 12 noon to 1pm

and the rest of their programming is all speech - no sport or music

Answer 2

hi there.

Radio 4 is the best in the world. If you mean inane chit-chat, then no, we don't have that.

Try Radio 2 between 12 noon and 2, Jeremy Vine show - that is about the best.

Cheers, Steve.

Answer 3

you might wanna try podcasts instead, they are more popular format nowadays, but may not hold exactly what your looking for, though its worth a try

Answer 4

five live. excellent breakfast show. not just about sport.
