talkSPORT to broadcast 24 hour sport

talkSPORT will broadcast sport content 24 hours a day, seven days a week from Monday 2 April – becoming the only full time sport station in the UK.

The change will see talkSPORT increase its coverage of international sports, including NBA, NFL and MLS updates.

talkSPORT now reaches over 3.2 million listeners and has over 155,000 followers on Twitter.

The station is an official broadcaster of the Barclays Premier League and will broadcast every match of UEFA EURO 2012 live.

Moz Dee, talkSPORT programme director, said: “Turning talkSPORT into a 24 hour sports station is an exciting yet natural next step for us. We want to change expectations of overnight radio, focusing on up to the minute sport news and information from around the globe.

“It gives us a great opportunity to work with an international network of sports reporters covering everything from American sports to British teams and athletes competing on the other side of the world, and makes us the only UK station focused on sport all of the time.”
