Someone on twitter who supposedly works for TalkRadio is suggesting that TalkRadio are planning to release their full schedule today. Not seen that said by them though...

He also said overnights would be a simulcast of TalkSport

Oh gawd more sport. Just what I suspected and didn't want.
![]() ![]() ![]() It's recently been confirmed that Tom Latchem - a print journalist who has been a regular with The Two Mikes discussing the newspapers for a few years now - will be taking over from Russell Hargreaves (who is moving to become the talkSPORT 2 breakfast show host for part of the week) on the Saturday night/Sunday morning edition of Extra Time. Hargreaves is leaving the Sunday night/Monday morning overnight programme too, although I'm not sure who'll be replacing him on that - maybe former Radio 5 Live broadcaster Bob Ballard, his usual substitute? Adam Catterall, a music radio DJ, is the regular Friday night/Saturday morning host. In any case, the appointment of Latchem suggests that the weekend version of Extra Time may gravitate away from being an all-sport programme as the weekday one has. They'll probably be looking to strike a balancing act, seeing as Extra Time is also likely to be simulcast on talkSPORT 2 as well. |

I liked Paul Ross on the old TR as well, he also did the breakfast slot on weekdays as well. He also had Lowri Turner doing the show with him for a while.
He was on TR for a fair while, so i wouldn't say he wasn't a success at it. |

Do you remember the Paul's pen feature, where someone would get a free add by sending him one of their pens? In other words he'd read out the company who'd sent it to him.

Cant say i remember that...... But i can remember PR & CM having a running joke of play on words about the 'We dont need no stinkin badges' line from the film Treasure Of The Sierra Madre.
I'd love to see Carol back on talkRADIO. She also did a great show with Nick Abbot, but I think a reunion there is beyond what I could hope for. |

I remember that! On the pen thing, I remember the talkRADIO postcode at the time ended 1PP as PR used to say 1 Paul's pen when reading the address to send them to.

If you ever listen to NA on LBC you will find he's nothing like he used to be. You might occasionally hear a glimmer of his former self, but he mainly just moans about bankers or politicians.

News on the rest of the line up and schedule is certainly taking its time.

However you must agree that wherever Paul Ross has worked on air its hardly been a success. Mark my words.....he wont last long. Just not good enough.... However, after about six months, the energy sort of seemed to disappear, and he became very mediocre to me. Since then, again to me, he has become more annoying, than inventive, and I do not think that he is a good choice for Breakfast. Now, if it was his brother, Jonathan, who was to do Breakfast, that would be a different thing. JR's Saturday Radio 2 show, was a cracker, even in the days when it had to be prerecorded. I would love to hear JR on Radio again, along with Andy, his then producer. |

I may well get shouted down for this, but another presenter who I think is unique, is Steve Allen on early morning LBC. I may not always agree with what he says, and at times he can be a bit bilious (but at least it's with the right celebs), but you have to hand it to him. He can do that show non stop for two hours (excl adverts travel and news) without taking calls) which is also unique, as far as LBC is concerned. Having said that, I am not predicting that SA will go to TalkRadio. I sure he knows that he is fine, where he is. |

bit poor that still we don't knowthe rest of the schedule-- normally with a new station you'd know this sort of thing by now... surely they have actually managed to find people to fill the slots... surely?
agree with the comments about Paul Ross, not a very inspiring choice for breakfast. guess if Iain Lee is to be believed, the slot was his if he'd wanted it so maybe the management are just making do with a second choice. |

Iain was bigging up Nick Abbot on Periscope just now, saying that Friday is the day he's most worried about, because he's up against Abbot. He said the show was going to be more like LBC and Absolute and less like 3CR, but there will be some 3CR type bits in it. He met the boss today and he was told that he can push boundaries and they will stick up for him if he gets into any Ofcom trouble. Also he mentioned that he doesn't meet up with Agent Chris or Eloise regularly.

Iain has been a huge fan of NA for years-- I remember having an email conversation with Iain when he was on LBC mentioning how much he loved his show.
Doesn't Agent Chris now produce Nick F on LBC...or have I just made that up? sure I read that on DS somewhere. |

I'm convinced there's something going on with Kath and Iain Lee (not in that way for any of you with minds in the gutter!) just because she's being so secretive on twitter about her new job and when Iain's on periscope everyone is literally shouting her name at him in the comments yet he ignores them completely. I'm pretty convinced she's at TalkRadio but just not sure it's as simple as her being his producer though...
