Personally I’m pleased with the line-up announced so far and going from these presenter’s previous form these could be complementary shows to what LBC is doing at the same time (right leaning JHB vs left leaning JO’B, current affairs topic driven Ian Collins vs a lighter Iain Lee).

I suggested Paul Ross previously so thought it wouldn’t happen once he moved to early breakfast on BBC London. I’m a fan of Iain Lee so am looking forward to him being back on air and late night radio needs something a bit lighter in tone during the week.

I also wonder if Galloway is unsuccessful in his Mayoral bid whether he'll end up doing more shows.

Be interesting to see who else fills the schedule.
Does say he can't broadcast for the first six weeks due to the mayoral elections
Several of my Jewish friends have said to me they find it interesting scheduling on talk radios part
FRIDAY evening (start of shabat )
Possibly to avoid upsetting the community with his views on Palestine maybe ??

I think they are probably reading too much into that.

I was expecting he would be a late starter due to the purdah rules (purdah said in George's purr/burr) - in fact I think it was one of my predictions for 2016!

Think they are giving GG the Friday night gig as he made a successful show in his Talksport days in a Friday time slot although it was 10 pm to 1 am then.

So I'm thinking they'll have an internet stream as well as dab, would be great if they have a catch up service also.

You will probably hear it on the tune in radio app
and maybe on the website itself
No word of it going on freeview or sky though
As for catch up I used to listen to the overnight Mike Graham show on Talksport via the free listen again service they have/had on their website
It's a long while since I listened so don't know if they still do it for nothing
LBC as I'm sure you know have a podcast service which costs about £2 a month so a free listen again service would make them a lot of friends !!

Not £2 a month if you record the stream, that's how I listen LBC 99% of the time, I'll probably do the same for Iain lee & GG.

Just Google the two Mikes and you get the link to free podcast.

Only probably on the website? I'd say it's an absolute certainty.

I've got a sneaky suspicion we might hear Mr Lee on breakfast rather than at night.
Just waiting for Charlie Wolf to be announced! Personally, I can't see Mr Boyd being involved. I think he's done with his broadcasting days and travelling to and from London is too much effort.

Just read it.
Sorry!
I think that is his best slot.

No apology needed we still have a few "surprises" promised or at least that's what Iain says on Twitter
Obviously when they are up and running they may switch around

I know Paul Ross was on the original Talk Radio but he seems a singularly uninspired choice for the breakfast show. His BBC London breakfast efforts since then have not exactly troubled the RAJARs.
I think the show would do ok with a co host like Carol McGiffin but on his own he is at best average. Its unlikely to turn listeners away from Nick Ferrari or Chris Moyles.

In general its predictable with Iain Lee I expect to do well but again Alan Robson on Metro radio hosts the most listened to show in that slot at least in the northeast.

Be great if Danny Baker got the afternoon slot although unlikely. Also will they do specialist shows on say travel, cooking or health?.

I wonder how long it will be before the new Talkradio morphs into TalkFootball. I'll give it 5 years. The original Talkradio surprisingly didn't work out, so why should this version be different?

......because Talk Sport and Talk Sport 2 will already exist.

I'm really looking forward to the launch. One of the key things of note is talkRADIO being positioned as personality led. Talk format in the UK is painfully short of personality.

Talkradio will probably end up being on satellite services. The ads need to be different, from the ones talkSPORT broadcast as they are awful.

As the advertisers pay for the station Red there will no doubt be some of the usual suspects on there
Much like with Global so long as the adverts are legal they won't really care what they are for

Guessing from what they are saying there will be something for everyone apart from sport as they will have two networks covering that

1. The original Talk Radio never really recovered from a very bad start.
2. The USA and Australia both have a number of news/lifestyle talk-based stations. Why shouldn't Britain?
3. 21 years have passed. The format has become more established in Britain. The management set-up is much more professional now. There's no reason why it shouldn't work.
