Freesat have today announced the launch of the commercial sports radio station talkSPORT onto the platform from Tuesday 19th May 2009; channel 731.
talkSPORT is the UK’s largest commercial radio station, broadcasting sports commentary and lively phone-in discussions. talkSPORT is the UK’s only national commercial speech radio station and is home to talent that includes former international footballers Ian Wright, Andy Townsend, Stan Collymore and Alan Brazil, TV talk show host Jeremy Kyle and politician George Galloway.
Emma Scott, Managing Director of Freesat commented;
talkSPORT is a respected name in sports broadcasting and its launch onto Freesat is a big plus for our radio portfolio. With the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals on ITV HD this month, and Wimbledon coverage on BBC HD next month, the addition of talkSPORT builds on Freesat’s first class and free sports coverage.
Piers Collins, talkSPORT, business development manager added;
The launch of talkSPORT on Freesat is a fantastic opportunity to grow talkSPORT and reach new audiences.
