The advertisements can be utterly depressing. I often turn off when the ‘Mum first died’ Alzheimer’s advert starts playing. It is just TOO MUCH and I rush to the radio to retune to GB news.

Oh, and I cannot stand listening to Jeremy Kyle and shame on Talk TV/Radio for resurrecting this utterly despicable person who lived off ridiculing a class of people unable to realise how they were being treated! Kyle is detestable!

Mike Graham and Julia Hartley-Brewer are both huge assets and are well worth listening to. Both of them cut through the BS. Alex Philips is also very good, although sometimes she gabs on and on to the point of irritation - but I rarely disagree with her and she also cuts through to the nub of an issue. 1 star lost because of Kyle!

FEBRUARY 2026

Since Mike Graham has gone, I hardly watch it or listen now. I cannot take it seriously anymore. I will occasionally listen to Julia Hartley-Brewer but that’s about it.

I love Piers Morgan I really do but I have to refuse to watch Talktv because Vile Kyle is on there. I know I can switch to another channel when Vile Kyle comes on but I can’t bring myself to support a station that promotes a person who through one of his previous shows directly killed one and indirectly killed more. Vile Kyle doesn’t care what he has done …. He feels entitled to destroy lives because he’s the celebrity…. The guy is a parasite.

It’s a shame because I would have loved to watch Morgan and also Brewer

Great presenters all week. Really enjoy listening.

It holds alot of truth

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 talking over guests and callers so never get to hear them properly. Hasn't a clue about half the subjects she is an 'expert' on, ie. she is an expert on Ukraine and Russian history (not), you can even tell which newspaper she got her facts from on any given day.

Biast and racist presenter..avoid listening to this.
Ian collins a biast and racist presenter

Grooming station for Reform! It’s taken me a while but I now realize that Talk Radio with few exceptions is a grooming station for Reform and their uber priest Donald Yrump. Most vocal are a few lads who like dressing up for Cheltenham.

Presenters can be fun but the news is no near reliable neither is presenters opinions in particular regarding minorities with exceptions of jews.

I am conservative but not enough stupid to believe Israel have the the tight to massacre others.

Most presenters are talking heads of an extreme biased news media

Absolutely crap liars..you speak from the heart ... That say your going to be on the show.. Don't trust anyone who can instantly hang up on a human being.why be so rude there show is made from UK people but they don't respect us..only one place to report them get them off air there wearing bigger clogs than their feet

‘Customer service’ doesn’t respond. Get an automated acknowledgement but never an answer. I can’t log in as the keyboard the website supplies doesn’t work properly. One less listener for them unfortunately.
Completely agree with previous reviewers about the awful weekend afternoon schedule. I like sport but it’s there on Talk Sport, not sure who thought it was a good idea…..

Rubbish at weekends if i wanted to listen to sport,i tune in to talksport.

Christmas card - what Christmas card?. Peter Cardwell made a promise that whoever sent their address to Talk and didn't recieve xmas cards this year that he would send one. Virtue signaling or what? This station only appear to take calls from regulars. Weird that. Doubt whether the pledged xmas card will come.

A terrible one sided small minded radio station. Nothing but drivel of a right wingers political narrative. No balance, no attempt at balance. Poor content of presenter and guest trying to out do each other on who can be the most rude to the British public.
Ofcom should I hope be looking into some of the hate speak I have listened to.
I very right leaning American thought way of discussing politics.
If only they were strong enough in there views to put their arguments up to scrutiny and balance but that would mean not blasting their right wing tripe.

Talk's latest changes are a bit weird. The good news is getting shot of Christo Foufas who was overtly gay in a cringe way. 4 hours of Mike Graham every week day morning is a bit much - he's excellent but now too much repitition & often depressing not uplifting. Petrie Hosken is a light weight presenter too flakey to be on every night imo. Too much emphasis on sport now when sister stationTalk Sport is dedicated to this. Alex Phillips excellent. Peter Cardwell too woke by half. David Bull my absolute favourite of them all but why no Renee Hoenderkamp with him anymore - that's a mistake. The worst thing about Talk Radio though, is the rediculous amount of awful adverts that take up 35% of the day (yes I know this is their revenue stream) - especially the same companies continuous stream of garbage i.e National Lottery & MacDonalds oh & EE - these are the biggest turn off!!

They at least cover news headlines that some of the other news channels try to cover up or avoid.

Reading the other reviews and so agree about the awful decision to cut Cristo”s show, Dr Renee, and Alex Phillips.
These three are the best people and are very much missed from Talk.
I can only say that there must be more money paid to the owner - to change to broadcast more sport.
I have changed to other channels for the weekend viewing.

There are some good presenters on the show. But Jeremy Kyle has the most filthiest month that I cannot listen to the show at 4. PM . Surely he can’t think it’s ok?

What happened to James Max, with Lenny and Ken in the mornings. Its now been replaced by Talk Sport rubbish! Not a happy Bunny!

The weekend shows are rubbish now since they have wall to wall coverage of football! Is this not what talk sport is for?? . Mike Graham's show in the mornings is great thou!

Sooo disappointed with the latest set of changes to TalkTV, you lost me to GB News weekdays when you went on YouTube as it’s so poor on YouTube and cuts off randomly towards the end of the schedule and has just lost its edge for me, but I can’t give up Dr David Bull on a weekend, yet now you’ve changed the weekend lineup too .. where is Dr Renee??? What on earth??? I’m really missing Dr Renee ☹️ Hers and David’s knowledge, professionalism and dynamic is the best on tv in my opinion. The powers that be clearly have not done their research and do not understand their viewer/listener demographic .. or it’s a cost cutting exercise .. if I wanted sport i wouldn’t tune in to your channel! I and many others want unbiased professional journalists and presenters telling it like it is, and you are getting further and further away from this now. The only good thing that could happen for me now is if Dr David could join GB News and join forces back with Dr Hoenderkamp. I’m hanging onto talk weekend breakfast by a thread here so anymore changes and I’ll be fully fledged GB News 😡
