Talk Radio Boosts European Football Coverage With Newcastle Rights

Talk Radio today augmented its coverage of British football clubs’ European matches by signing an exclusive radio rights deal with Newcastle United. The deal means that Talk will be the only station with broadcast rights for all of Newcastle United’s UEFA Cup games in the 1999/2000 season. Talk also signed a similar deal with Manchester United last month (see Talk Secures Broadcast Rights To All European Man Utd Games).

Since the station was bought by Kelvin MacKenzie’s TalkCo in October last year (see TalkCo Settles With CLT On Price For Talk Radio), a policy of increasing sports coverage has been set in place. Talk now has the rights to the FA Cup, FA Charity Shield, the England’s Test series against South Africa and Pakistan and the PGA European Golf Tour. The station has also developed a sports website at www.talksport.net.
