Any predictions on the schedule and presenters ? I will guess Chris Moyles, Iain Lee and Ian Collins will be presenters.

Maybe the first one. Ian Collins has just got a new show at LBC and Iain Lee seems happy at the BBC but may leave.

How about Nick Abbot, Nick Margerrison or Mike Graham. I do hope someone I like is given the late show now Ian Collins has made LBC unlistenable!

I was thinking Moyles for Virgin Radio breakfast, although suspect he'd rather be on a D1 service so UK wide rather than 2/3 coverage like D2.

At the very least, the initial lineup will comprise people who are no longer on radio and older presenters who are in dead-end jobs elsewhere. People aren't going to leave 'safe' jobs on other stations, particularly at the BBC.

If it's owned by the same people as TalkSport, I wonder if Tommy Boyd would go back? And Charlie Wolf. Anna Raeburn may still like to do another radio show too. Cristo Foufas on LBC seems to moan a lot about his job live on air, so I could imagine him leaving for a better slot.

Jeni Barnett, Nick Margerrison, Jenny Eclair, Mike Mendoza, and Caroline Feraday are people I could imagine going there, if asked.

Not sure if Adrian Allen or Steve Jones are likely to be part of it.

Is it a coincidence that as this station is announced, Jon Gaunt reappears with a new podcast? Perhaps he's trying to get noticed and hopes it's all water under the bridge.

I just don't think, even at launch, they'll have enough money to poach/hire a big name breakfast presenter. I have a feeling it won't be very good and will disappoint any nostalgic LBC fans.

Is this an April fools joke? A link would be helpful.

Not. A. Chance.

Is talk radio available to stream online? I love talk radio format, so hopefully this will be good.

It's only proposed. It doesn't exist yet, so just one for the anoraks to get worked up about for now.

I thought they were relaunching with a new ethos and philosophy of quality broadcasting with intelligent, eloquent, and reflective broadcasters and contributors using a new station name of "Talk Sense"....oh damn, just a day late...;-)

I wonder will it go ahead ?

Robbie Vincent.

Now that Iain Lee has been pushed out of the BBC I think it's likely that he will get a show. I do hope so.

I have heard it starts in March along with talkSPORT 2.

Probably won't get any details until the New year . Really hope the station does well , but it is going to be hard with just the Dab outlet unless Talksport shares overnight shows to help boost listeners

swingaleg · 23/11/15 - 20:23

Do we think it will just be phone-ins or proper programmes ?

Ollie_h19 · 23/11/15 - 20:32

Jon Gaunt.

Obviously that's a joke.

ney · 23/11/15 - 20:45

I used to like to listen to a late night phone in/talk show that also had a sort of nihhtlyvor weekly quiz. There has not been one of them type shows on the radio for a good few years now and I now longer listen to late night radio much while in bed.
Even the late night love songs that some radio stations still have is not the same anymore and I used to listen to that now and again.

Tim Shaw? More suited to talk radio from what I remember, first class on kerrang and absolute though.

The launch of talkRADIO will kill off his little project!

Are phone inns not "proper programmes"?

LBC will be the main competitor. I'm intrigued as to how different it will be in format to them.

Hey there!
