	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| TalkSport wins Premiership radio rights package
		TalkSport has won a slice of the radio rights to live Premiership football, despite BBC Radio retaining the vast majority of matches for the coming three seasons.
		TalkSport has won a package that allows it to broadcast the second choice Saturday afternoon games that kick off at 3pm - the BBC will get first pick.
		TalkSport's deal will be a boon to the station as it will be able to sell advertising on the back of the coverage that will see many fans turning away from the BBC.

		"talkSPORT's not one of those namby-pamby, don't upset anybody, take the middle line stations and neither is my show", says Whale, who on the night I tune in is busy laying into one caller for not having a voice for radio!
		If talkSPORT is anything, it certainly isn't dull - but compared to the smoother, more modulated tones of BBC Radio 5 Live it comes over as a bit of a rough diamond.
		And talkSPORT hopes that the advent of digital radio will bring the station to new audiences and help to prove that commercial radio can do speech that's more popular, more entertaining and more fun than the BBC.

	Irvine v. Talksport Ltd Ch D 25 March 2002
		Talksport Limited had used a doctored image of Mr Irvine holding what appeared to be a radio to his ear.
		There was no suggestion being made to them that Mr Irvine would be portrayed as endorsing Talksport to the general public; this was a method of catching the eye of the target 900-odd addressees on a one-off basis.
		So it was in all senses a small promotion, expected to have, and planned on the basis that it would have, only a comparatively small impact, small readership, amongst the less than 1,000 to whom it was sent.

	RadioandTelly Forum - Why no TALKsport ?
		An oddity indeed!, no Talksport on Freeview, on AM it's free, on DAB it's free, on Sky it's part of the Family Package and therefore you pay, perhaps they just can't make up their minds whether they are a payed for or free channel!
		I understand that talkSPORT and (until recently) BBC 5Live are not free-to-air stations on SKY is because they only have sports rights for Britain.
		TalkSport, Classic FM etal) remain solely on DAB, rather than going onto Freeview which wll one day be in 20 million+ households.

	Have Talksport Radio Sacked Patrick Kinghorn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		No mention of where Patrick Kinghorn is on the radio, by any of the other talksport presenters.
		I gather Patrick Kinghorn was most likely sacked by talkSPORT radio because he suggested that the Amir Khan fight v the Cuban Mario Kindelan was fixed in some way shape or form for Amir Khan to win.
		Talksport are sensitive to unsubstantiated boxing comment, however widespread, after having to pay a six-figure sum following remarks made last year by breakfast presenter Graham Beecroft concerning a Barry McGuigan fight.

	Herbert Smith LLP - a leading and full-service international legal practice - News - talkSPORT agrees out-of-court ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Herbert Smith acted for talkSPORT in defending the passing off and malicious falsehood claims brought by the BBC in order to stop the independent radio station broadcasting off tube commentary of sporting events, as it did for Euro 2000.
		The settlement reached allows talkSPORT to broadcast radio commentary of future sporting events from the television even when the BBC holds the contemporaneous radio broadcasting rights to the event - providing talkSPORT makes it clear where the commentary is coming from and that it is unofficial commentary.
		talkSPORT has said that it only plans to exercise this right when it is unjustifiably excluded from the process of being able to bid for radio broadcasting rights as it was during Euro 2000 and the Sydney Olympics.

		They aren't quite perched on the edge of a bed fighting over the remote control, by the way, although there is a fold-down concealed behind a panel in the room.
		The radio station, masterminded by the shy and retiring Kelvin MacKenzie, doesn't have broadcast rights to the European Championship and, amid a flurry of High Court activity this week, it has been embroiled in a row with the BBC - which is allowed to provide live commentary from inside the grounds.
		A BBC spokesman said that talkSPORT's situation was not uncommon, but added: 'It has only been done when the broadcaster has the rights to the match and when there is a live sound feed, which means the background noise is live from the venue.

		Debates about immigration on TalkSport are flagged in advance and later, Nazi callers boast about their performance in chat rooms.

		Because TalkSport - as it operates at present - is an obscenity.

	Digital Spy Forums - talkSport on Sky tv
		Talksport I assume only buy UK rights for their sport coverage which means they can not broadcast on a platform that can be received on the contient.
		talkSPort is such a "matter of fact" radio service and its free on the other service providers, I don't know why people who only have satellite should have to pay to get it.
		However I expect the close links between Talksport and SKY are at the root of the decision.
