Talksport Reviews 

Why have TS opted to link Alexa with there station…Used to just ask Alexa to play the station however have not been able to listen for a week as I cannot link to that account, tried numerous times and now given up, congratulations TS, you lost a loyal listener of 20 years standing…

Listened to talksport since the days of Brazil and porky parry. Unfortunately can’t listen to Jeff Sterling. Give job to anyone but his, just can’t relate to him, everyone who hosts early show is brilliant apart from Sterling, everyone I ask about him hosting show agrees with me.

As a sport show you should not be telling your callers they are boring and not to talk about certain sports it’s not a football show so the presenters should be able to talk all sport but snoring down the phone at some one is beyond rude I mean I don’t understand who does the hiring for the station but they need replacing asap

Where do I start? gabby abonglahor was a mediocre player at best,passing negative comments on player's 10 better than he was. Then you have goldstein 🤦‍♂️ the most biased deluded UTD fan in the world with is childish come back about UTD "because its UTD" like they're the best club in the world right now 🤣 then we have Jason candy 🤦‍♂️another deluded ex mediocre player he should of be sacked for his outburst on liverpool.

Talksport has gone massively down hill over the years and these 3 need to go! For the love of God get some new presenters please 🙌

For sport it sounds like channel bout soccer. Cundy and his ladies from lahndaahn.. need to get a room. As for the boxing! No one cares!! sycophantic doesnt go any where close. Some no-weight no ones heard of and the dude is blowing bubbles up his backside - we dont care!!!

Coverage from Cheltenham is just too much in the morning. Scripts not even read properly and acting like a bunch of mates in a pub who forgot they have an audience. Absolute awful and had to be turned off as the ad-libbing was painfu;l

Might as well rename it Betsport. Non-stop gambling ads and in-programme promotions with warnings to bet safely, which to the poor suckers and addicts of the wager is like a tobacco giant saying - We know it's addictive and terribly bad for you but don't stop smoking, just try not to inhale too much. Then there's the redemptive virtue signalling of presenters having a free bet with any winnings (often paltry) going to a charity. And every year there's the monster promotions of the Cheltenham Festival with Alan Brazil, the "man-of-the-people" with his studied blokeishness with his boasts about his connections trying hard to demonstrate how macho it is to drink yourself legless on expensive wines and champagne. I thought dinosaurs were extinct.

Dreadful cricket commentary. Sounds like, about four blokes, constantly rambling on, some of whom can barely string a sentence together. They are so busy constantly trying to analyse everything that they actually forget to commentate on the game. Complete mess and I have to turn it off. Only saving grace is the return of Bumble.

Is the sound man drunk ? Random sound-clips of the crowd cheering a wicket in between deliveries.

A bit more intelligent cricket conversation and less inane comment would be nice - but it’s TalkSPORT, so what else can be expected ?

Why the BBC doesn’t invest in acquiring the rights for something they lead the world at (good cricket commentary and analysis) and monetise it. It’s a “no-brainer” as they would say on TalkSPORT.

Would give no stars if I could no journalistic integrity it's all about making headlines never heard a radio station talks so much s***

I realise you are watching the Test matches on TV in London, but your "ball by ball" commentary is appalling. Too much analysis and not enough description. "Ball by ball" appears to be an afterthought. There is often no description of who is on strike, who is bowling, the end of an over, field placings, runs scored etc. As my old boss at The Sun, Kelvin, would say: "Raise your effing game!"

Thought I’d get coverage but it filled with football talk, while test match was moving on. Can’t listen, waste of time for me

I can’t listen to the mindless, charmless drivel of the cricket commentators!

I'd give a zero if I could. Listening to TalkSport 2 cricket brings it home to me that the TV licence is worth every penny just for TMS alone. I can't listen for more than 10 minutes before I have to switch off and just dream of Aggers, Tuffers, Finn and Saltzmann. Harmison, Petersen, etc, on TalkSport are absolutely atrocious. It's meant to be 'ball by ball' commentary but most of the time they're talking utter rubbish and often mention the delivery after the event or even as an after thought. The non stop drivel and repetition of cliches is unbearable. Please, please, please take note of the many comments on here BBC and outbid this poor excuse for a radio station for future away series.

I agree with other comments that the commentary is not at all good and informative when it is available. My main concern is the DAB signal. I live in Devon. I can only pick up the signal in my garden. Sitting outside listening to cricket on the radio in February is not a lot of fun. Also when driving, the DAB signal is 'in and out' the whole time. One has to turn the radio off. Radio contracts to broadcast are allocated by the host Cricketing authority. It is totally wrong that Talk Sport can sell their product to BCCI knowing fully that their DAB coverage in UK is nothing like as good as that of the BBC.

Dreadful bland coverage of test matches in India - it’s not even interesting or entertaining - very poor

While I appreciate Talksport covering the India/England test series, I have had to switch off having been subjected to the utter drivel from Messrs Gough, Harmison and Pieterson. Could you please have at least one pundit who can string a sentence together that isn't full of clichés and endlessly repeating themselves?

Brain dead radio. 3 guys talking down the pub is better than the white van man drivel that the station spews out.

Rushden & Glendinning on a Sunday are really boring. Their preview of the FA Cup is drivel. They waffle on talking nonsense.
The previous show, before they came on was great - what a contrast.

I’m a frequent listener to Talksport and usually enjoy it what l don’t enjoy is Saturday morning with Max Rushden and Charlie Baker. Utter childish drivel ! It would appear that Bakers contribution to the show is just to shout random rubbish. Get it off
