Talksport is a radio station that informs listeners about the current events in the sporting world.In addition, many of the shows including "Drivetime" which is presented by Adrian Durham and former England cricketer Darren Gough who debate recent sporting issues mainly football and they involve callers into the debate thus making it interactive.However, in my opinion some of their views are exaggerated or conflicting just to make for good radio because controversy attracts listens contradicting the common opinion of people like myself that radio is a day long monotone voice that bores people to sleep .Consequently the more viewers radio can charge more for companies to put up price to fund the broadcasting. Talksport is owned by UTV Radio and is the world’s largest sports radio station and Global Audio Partner of the Premier League. Broadcasted from London to the United Kingdom, Talksport is the only national radio station broadcasting sport and sports coverage 24 hours a day, having previously dropped 39 hours of non-sports content on 2 April 2012. Its content includes live coverage of the biggest sports events of the year, including;the Premier League, FA Cup, England friendly internationals, Football League, League Cup and Aviva Premiership, as well as broadcasting major Champions League and Europa League games. The station was originally and officially launched as Talk Radio UK on 14 February 1995, with Sean Bolger and Samantha Meah presenting the original Talk Radio Breakfast Show. However the first live broadcast had been Caeser the Geezer's phone-in which aired the previous night. Other presenters on Talk Radio included Jeremy Beadle, Scott Chisholm, Moz Dee, Tommy Boyd, Anna Raeburn . Also joining the line-up were Caesar the Geezer and Wild Al Kelly, dubbed as shock jocks. A year later Talk Radio launched a new breakfast show presented by Paul Ross and Carol McGiffin. Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Simon Bates also joined the station along with James Whale, Ian Collins, and Mike Dickin. Talk Radio made their first foray into the world of sports radio rights bidding, by purchasing the rights to broadcast the Football League from BBC Radio Five Live for the 1997/98 season. In addition, the station broadcast their first FIFA World Cup from France in 1998, with them bringing in the Sky Sports commentary team of Alan Parry and Andy Gray to commentate on the major matches. Tony Lockwood, Clive Allen, and Dave Roberts covered additional games in France. Talk Radio also acquired up the rights to broadcast Manchester United's matches in the Champions League for the 1998/99 season.
