Sounds like a major error with their launch strategy.”

I'm only saying London and Manchester because those were the places where I saw them. On the Virgin thread someone said they were widespread in Aberdeenshire. No doubt they existed in other places too.

I happened to notice an advert on the front cover of Sport magazine, although of course that is in the same company. I don't read generally read any magazines or newspapers, so maybe it was advertised elsewhere in places that I wouldn't have seen them.

Yea of course GG's due in town very soon he'll ruffle a few feathers when he lands. If they do start swapping presenters from one to the other I always have my off button and I will definitely use it.

That was myself, they were on just about every bus shelter in my town back at launch. To be fair that was the only ads I have seen for the station.

It will be great to have some good ones to listen to over the weekend. Overall, I'm quite impressed with the quality of the podcasts, they are consistently good and I really like Howard's enthusiasm.

See you here on Sunday for the TalkRadio show! Thanks again mate.”

No problem! Catch you Sunday night with luck.

Danny Kelly sounding really good. One of the few talksport presenters I still look out for (I was a massive TS fan - just H&J and the two mikes now) do you think he could be a regular?

I'm assuming H&J are just on holiday this week?

Keep tuning in and finding that god awful Parry talking nonsense. Having said that, switched over to talk radio and finding Jon Holmes hilarious!

Yes they have been on holiday for a fornight - back monday. I keep hearing good things about John Holmes - if i like H&J is he worth a listen?

Jon Holmes is brilliant. aside from Iain Lee, the best thing on the station. definetely pushes the boundaries! the segment where he had the work experience trying to steal food from the Wireless Group canteen was very funny.

When I click on this website above with all the Iain Lee podcasts it now says "account is suspended" does anyone know what is happening?. It was a great website and I wonder if the owner is planning on moving it to another place so we can still use it?.

Thank you

Danny Kelly is an ace broadcaster. Could do a show on the subject of pretty much anything. Am surprised he didn't get a regular gig at TR.

Agreed, when the you look at the 7-10 PM slot or drive, he would have been a good choice there!

I like Danny Kelly aswell . I feel he is wasted on Tallksport and would fit in better on Talk radio.

I hope he gets a regular slot, as the station is new (ok it's been done before) there is bound to be changes and presenters moved around it happens all the time as a station evolves.

I don't think JHB has ever listened to Jon Holmes. At the handover she didn't know how a haiku is formed.

Maybe not but she is a strength of the new Talk Radio set - up. Especially when compared to the increasingly weak offering put up by LBC against her.

Iain has just done an 18 minute long Facebook video from the talkRADIO office. Towards the end, a very young looking Rudd, who was sat next to Kath, introduced himself as an "assistant producer" even though he is described as an "unpaid work experience" on Jon Holmes' show. Unless it is a different Rudd?

It's a Jon Holmes thing. Con was always described as the paid intern at Radio X when he was actually the assistant producer

Most of the people that do work experience punditry are students at King's College London so as Rudd does gadgets on Thursday I thought he was genuine work experience. When he sat in for Cornelius last week I did suspect he was more "in house" than the other pundits.
