TalkSPORT Makes Two Signings For Upcoming Season

TalkSPORT, the nation’s only national commercial speech radio station, has signed Terry Christian and Kelly Dalglish for the start of the new football season.

Christian, who rose to fame during the mid-nineties anchoring cult TV programme The Word, will present Final Whistle on Saturday afternoons alongside Newcastle legend Mickey Quinn from Saturday 19th August.

Christian said: “I’m looking forward to hosting the country’s liveliest football phone in ever, Final Whistle on talkSPORT with myself and Quinny will be an antidote to a format that on other stations often sounds like a forum for the brain-dead. I’m sick of hearing people talking about football that never go to matches.”

“I’ve been a season ticket holder at Manchester United for over 20 years. I’ve no doubt that me being an ardent United will be like a red rag to a bull to many of the talkSPORT listeners, especially those that live in the east of Manchester.”

Kelly Dalglish will be making history when she lines up alongside Gabriele Marcotti and Jason Cundy on Monday evenings for Kick Off from Monday August 21, becoming the first female sports presenter in talkSPORT’s history.

Dalglish said: “I know that a lot of men think that women know nothing about football, I want to prove them wrong. Trust me when I say I don’t need the off-side rule explaining.

“I want Kick Off to be a show where fans and listeners can not only look back at the weekend’s games but also where they can begin to look forward to their sides next fixture. If they want to sing a sides praise or vent their spleens I don’t care, as long as we have fun.”
