That's weird why that Evoke model can't pick the station up!
![]() Enjoyed JHB this morning although she came over slightly desperate but perhaps first day nerves. Tuned in this afternoon to Jon Holmes and remembered then why I used to switch him off on LBC. All a bit teenagey for me. |

Been listening on & off all day and i like it. The only thing i have a problem with is the phone number for callers, which will obviously result in a lack of callers. This is a big problem afaic, the callers are as important on a talk radio station as the presenters.
Sort this out and make the calls cheap or free and TR will probably become my most listened to radio station. |

Been listening on and off all day. Enjoyed the new to me broadcasters Jon Holmes and Sam Delaney both a breath of fresh air. Also nice to hear Julia Hartley Brewer back on air.
A welcome addition of choice to the speech stations with the already excellent LBC,Talksport and Radio4 and competition for the dreadful Radio5. |

I've popped together a rough and ready podcast feed for Holmes and Lee for my own use. Caution - may break your podcast app!
http://podcasts.comli.com/holmes.php http://podcasts.comli.com/lee.php Feedback welcome. If they work (or not) let me know. I'll extend to other programmes. |

They've been doing highlights of the day since 7.10 and they are now repeating the Severn Tunnel debate from Jon Holmes.

TalkRadio will be discussing pay issues in tennis this hour.
TS 1 and even 5Live make this school kid error but it comes across as unprofessional and lazy. So for me, they mentioned equal pay but you couldn't call what they did discussion. If that's the level of the content, I'm off elsewhere. On Delaney, he's been a stand-in on Talksport 1 for a while, especially on H&J when one of them is away and he loves the sounds of his own voice and anecdotes which have you waiting for something interesting or a punch line but you'll be waiting a while as one never arrives. I heard him set up the political issue at least twice but didn't hear a single caller ringing in to debate it. I know it's day 1 and I'll always listen to Galloway but so far it's all a bit too much noise and no substance. |

Been listening most of the day. Surely John Holmes should be on drive time instead of Delaney.

I was wondering why he was talking about MP2. He obviously knew enough technical issues about the sound quality enough to talk in those terms. For those who don't know, MP2 is used for DAB and the sound for DVB digital television (such as Freeview) and is a less efficient codec than MP3. But what is the relevance of MP2 when were getting a 32 kbps MP3 stream and are now getting a 48 kbps stream? Can someone explain what's going on here?

thanks now got jon holmes on. I cannot believe they have not got a full listen again and a better audio stream. This is so disappoing. Thanks for taking the time to stick these up but If this is the quality they are broadcasting at they are not going to last long I fear. Audio sound quality is key with online radio these days.
http://talkradio.co.uk/radio/schedule {it will be full that is just as soon as they've finished a full days broadcasting} |

Seems someone is standing in for James Whale on BBC Essex. Can the other stations take the competition I wonder?

Just replied to a tweet about cartoons by Paul Ross. Been asked if I'd like to be on the show tomorrow to talk about them! I've declined.

If the Wireless Group put TalkRadio on the freeview platform or even swapped Talksport with it on there they would probably double the audience overnight .And before anyone moans Talksport can be picked up on D1 so it's available to all already

Wonder if it will be still going in a year ? Or if the wireless group will sell anymore stations ? As will it ever make a profit ?

TalkSport 2 must be more costly than TalkRadio. I hope it is still going, but I expect it will evolve.

They're mad highlight 7p per min call charges when at launch they depend on creating a caller base. It's madness.
Jon Holmes was the stand out shiw for me today. But I haven't herd Iain Lee yet. |

Been dipping in and out all day, nothing grabbed my attention, except Jon Holmes.
Strangely never been a fan of his work before, either on LBC, BBC6, or XFM, but found myself enjoying what I heard today. Looking forward to the icing on the cake that is Iain Lee (and hopefully Kath) in 50 minutes... |
