Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Used to be a regular listener of talk when Mike Graham was in the seat, however, its gone down hill fast under Jeremy Kyle. He's all noise and appears very self orientated, he believe's in his own hyp... See more

I can’t bare to listen to Jeremy Kyle shouting his head off in the morning. He’s rude, self important and although he thinks he’s funny he really isn’t. Dreadful mistake by Talk, no wonder their rati... See more

Jezza can be hilariously funny, but I hate the way he interrupts guests on the show; he talks over them all the time, with this I,I,I, think, think think stuttering rubbish. I also know he loves his l... See more

I used to listen religiously between 6-9 every morning while walking my dog. Since Shouty Kyle has taken over I cannot bear listening to the show. The whole format is rubbish inane and childish and Ky... See more

My favourite is Kevin and when Ali Ross is on with him they are so funny, Like Mike Graham, Dr David, Dr Renee. Can’t listen to Jeremy Kyles stupid shouting all the time, don’t watch Tricia, she’s awful and far too wokey.
Don’t know who the woman is on a Saturday night with Andre, she sounds like Jimmy Clithero - for any one old enough to remember him on the radio. She wears dresses three sizes to small and loves to hang out of her tops. As for Lizzie, what can I say? Not a brain between the two women. Don’t know why Talk Tv are stooping so low

2 stars down to one thing...James Whale

I would have rated this much higher, if it weren't for one thing. The James Whale show. I find it incredulous that he gets air time to basically do that thing of "being controversial", just poking a stick at anything that gets a reaction whether or not it makes any sense. Worse still, if anyone rings in to contest his views, he simply insults them and hangs up. His show just turns into a shout fest, around the level of a rough estate pub at about closing time, and it's the only show on Talk TV I have given up on. I'm sorry he has been ill, but his hosting style is way past its sell by date, so really Mr Whale and crew...give it up so we can have some intelligent debate

Could someone please ask Kevin…

Could someone please ask Kevin O'Sullivan not to leave 2 buttons undone on every shirt he wears, it is just not smart. One would suffice. I used to enjoy some of the programmes but cannot watch Drivetime now as the presenter really takes out her bad mood on the guests and it is not pleasant viewing. Without Piers Morgan it would not survive.

Over Self Valued Presenters Talk Radio

Will the bosses tell JHB to ask the SODDING question instead of interminable rambling? The questions to guests take too long to ask! At least she is on today rather than on holiday as she always seems to be! Never listen to the Talk when Sharon Osbourne is on as her irritating, childish faux voice and "contributions" are so annoying. Why is Trisha Goddard presenting? She sounds like she is shouting under a duvet and is of no relevance or knowledge from America. Anyone else think that Mike Graham is getting too big headed and is on too many shows on this station?

I enjoy almost all of the shows and the presenters but James Whale needs to be booted off. He is rude, disrespectful and offensive to the callers and his co presenters too. He is acting and playing up to the audience. He is past his sell by date, I am sorry he is ill but that should not be any excuse for it tbh.

Have been listening for around 4 years

Have been listening for around 4 years. The only station that doesn’t follow the herd and has people from both sides of the argument. Questions Brexit, Covid, Global warming and the woke in society. A complete breath of fresh air.

Please tell JHB to cut the length of her questions!!!

I really enjoy TalkTV no nonsense presentation. The only problem is JHB I’m sure she is a lovely lady but please will somebody pluck up the courage to tell her presenting is all about listening, ms Julia seems to think asking questions that just go on and on and on is helpful, it’s not. Keep the questions to under 5 minutes and I will return for now I have switched to GB news until 10!

Kevin O'Sullivan is worth watching…

Kevin O'Sullivan is worth watching thats it. He ought to be given the 4pm slot to replace awful Vanessa who is beyond fake.
Anytime any callers mention vaccine injuries its like NO NO NO we can't have THAT!! Especially Claudia, James Whale who has zero talent. Ash is funny but not allowed to talk. Cundy is beyond vain. Constantly looking up to the camera to look at herself. You're not all that Cundy.
Petri once shut down a caller who wanted to discuss covid vaccine harms. BOOM. HUNG UP.
Mike Graham and Kevin are the ONLY ones who discuss this.
Piers Morgan claims to be "uncensored" but only for him NOT his guests.
He claims that " if we are thinking about it he's talking about it"
To date he AVOIDS anything to do with covid especially VACCINES. He's the same on twitter
Why is that Piers?? Are u paid by Big Pharma?? Dare u to go there.
Gb news way better as they discuss EVERYTHING.

Talk radio is a breath of fresh air in comparison to LBC and BBC. Maybe not all presenters are that good especially Trisha and the late night ones. The most important thing for me personally is it is not a woke station and defo represents the majority of people. JHB and Mike Burke are superb.

Left wing virtue signalling free zone

Left wing virtue signalling free zone. Wish every where was like this. The scurge of the left platform ed on all other media..... maybe something to do with Soros 19 billion a year funding.

Keep broadcast free speech

I find Talk Radio a bit of a mixed bag

I find Talk Radio a bit of a mixed bag.
Julia Hartley- Brewer: her questions are a never ending comma-less tirade of, if this and if that, about fifty sentences rolled into one! Take a breath Julia for heaven's sake!
Mike Graham, is wonderfully grumpy and very entertaining.
Piers Morgan absolutely loves himself, he also interrupts constantly, which is highly irritating.
Trisha is predictably boring - have tried to like her, but she's very awkward to listen to.
Vanessa Feltz is lovely but just needs to lower her voice a bit as female voices can grate when they raise their voice.
Callers are quite often cut short which is annoying, and the presenters cite there is a lack of time, but make time then!
Cristo Foufas is an absolute darling, I really love his presenting style and he is very self deprecating. He's the gay friend all women want in their life!
SAVING THE BEST TILL LAST! The best presenters by a country mile are James Whale and Howard Hughes. Both have completely different styles but their character and knowledge is superb. They both know how to present a very entertaining show. Howard's voice, in particular, is wonderfully relaxing. James's little helper Ash is very droll and funny and winds James up a treat.

Get a grip

Much as I enjoyed talk as of 3 years ago, it's not what it was. JHB talks so fast, she is impossible to follow. Mike Graham is brilliant - pure entertainment. David Bull is superb as is Peter Cardwell, both on Saturday morning. However, Vanessa Feltz, whilst lovely, is eardrum torture and way too lah-di-dah for Talk. Morgan is just an ego in a suit and Trish Goddard is switch over time. Kevin O'Sullivan for 4pm slot please.
