If Times Radio works I'm sure they'll change Talk Radio into 'The Sun Radio' and give that idea another go

Which is basically what it is in all but name at the moment.

Interesting that The Sun’s Tom Newton-Dunn is on Times Radio.

Edit: But I now see he’s left his role at the Sun. I’ve always thought he fancied himself as Andrew Neil.

I'm guessing they'll have someone lined up for either a "gotcha" moment tomorrow or a bit of controversy to get themselves spread around social media.

They even have Dan Wootton presenting the drivetime show. That might say more about the direction they’re taking than the content itself.

64kbps LSF Mono traditional flavour DAB on SDL National which is good for a speech station on that mux.

Indeed. TalkRadio at 32k DAB+ sounds very rough on the same mux, far worse than Jazz FM at the same mode. It's all about what you do pre the encoder!

I hope somebody will be recording this, because if I'm awake at 5:57:30, it'll be a miracle.

TalkRadio is still sponsored by The Times, wonder if that will change?

I'm recording again, as I did for LBC News last October. I'm recording from 0555 to 0635.

Not a good sign when one of your major sponsors is effectively a department in the same company and building.
