TalkSPORT 2

TALKSPORT 2 is a national digital radio station broadcasting across the United Kingdom from its London headquarters, operating on digital platforms, DAB, and smart speakers without an FM frequency. Owned by News Broadcasting and launched on March 15, 2016, this speech-led channel delivers sports news, live commentaries, and discussions in English for a sports-focused audience.

The schedule features shows like Premier League All Access with Sam Matterface and Alex Crook, alongside Inside the NFL with Efe Obada. Presenter Simon Jordan notes that informed debate drives the station's dialogue.

Instead of music playlists, listeners get match sounds, tournament themes, and audio packages built around live sporting events.

RAJAR figures for the period ending June 2026 show talkSPORT 2 has a weekly reach of 531,000 listeners, down slightly from 568,000 in June 2025. Core fans tune in for tactical coverage and secondary sports content.

Listeners choose the station for alternative match commentaries and niche coverage, including EFL games, cricket, and international golf.

The network operates under News Broadcasting, picking up Commercial Radio Awards nominations and citations in Radio Today for its digital audio strategy.
