Too much shuffling with talk. Don't regularly listen to any show now as I never know when they're on. I would make the effort to try remember but they do it so often i cba.

Yeah it's weird. The Talk thing on seems pointless waste of an hour. Sharon Osbourne hasn't been the appeal they thought she would be. I barely watch any of it any longer. I listen in to James Max's show in the morning. I listen to Howard Hughes on Sunday, that's actually about it.
 
I haven't been a regular since Rinder left to accommodate 5 days of Vanessa. Rinder was the last show that was a must listen after a few months of my favourite shows falling away or some presenters no longer appealing to me.

There are a few talented broadcasters on their books so I dip in and out but it's a shame that they threw away a growing radio audience in favour of a TV channel that will go nowhere and have brought on the likes of Feltz & Osbourne who are only there because people recognise their names, they do not fit into the station at all.

So Rob Rinder has left Talk TV? If so that a shame.

What has happened to Daisy McAndrew at 11pm?

I'm not liking the 'GB News' approach of repeating programmes such as PM Uncensored, The Talk and JK Live in the small hours, which now occurs since Darryl Morris left.

I would personally ditch the PM Uncensored at 11pm and bring back Daisy McAndrew - or another live presenter. Give Petrie Hosken a slot she deserves. Say midnight to 2am. Repeat the PM, JK and Talk from 2am to when James Max starts at 5am.

I'm guessing they have stuck repeats on from 1am to 5am due to their audience being too small at those hours to justify live presenters.
 
Has anyone heard why Ian Collins is not in? Kevin O'Sullivan is sitting in, I heard him say Ian might be back this week, or Monday - perhaps he is ill.

Yes I thought he was on holiday this week but heard Kev say that today so presume he is ill or maybe his kids are unwell. Also, is his partner's father unwell too as I am sure I have heard Ian mention that recently.
 
Is Piers show pre-recorded this week form NYC. Well todays show seemed that way with all that was going on in parliament it covered none of it very poor.
 
I didn't realize that Petri had been cut back to an hour a night now. The first hour is radio only then talktv joins apparently.

Is the Morgan repeat really pulling in that mainly viewers? I thought the first showing got next to no one watching.
 
Nadine dorries just tweeted and deleted that she got higher ratings than piers Morgan while covering for him.

Wonder why she deleted it? Was she tricked by fake news or decided better?
 
TalkRadio, meanwhile, saw its listenership fall from 686,000 to 637,000

Well that explains why they're no longer saying its the fastest growing radio station in the world :LOL: which I doubt was ever true.

I hardly watch it anymore. They keep getting folk that on paper should be a big draw like Piers, Vanessa, Sharon but it just doesn't seem to hit the mark for whatever reason. I do prefer the older presenters still, but even then I am not tuning in as I was.

I've listened to Vanessa's show a few times and it's good - as you'd expect from such a seasoned broadcaster.

But I doubt anyone cares about the new TV shows. If anything people have had quite enough of news after the last few years.
 
The dip in RAJARs is IMO because of Vanessa Feltz taking over drive time. It's an important timeslot and they have the wrong presenter for it. For all that previous drive host Jeremy Kyle is controversial, he does fit in well with the station and did so quickly. Vanessa does not appeal to their audience whatsoever so many of them switch off. Then they're relying on whichever of Vanessa's former listeners on the BBC are willing to tune into talkTV/radio.
 
Does any of the data backup that Vanessa's show is the cause of declining listeners? Or is that a guess?

I think you have to be a subscriber to see the detail by show.

I'd of thought it's more fast growing stations like GB news and boom radio eating up audiences on talkradio and lbc rather than one show. Talk is still up listeners from Q3.
 
Piers Morgan can just F.O.

Henry Bolton OBE is a regular contributor to Talk TV shows hosted by Mike Graham, Julia Hartley- Brewer, David Bull and Richard Tice. He is allowed his say and treated with respect for his opinions on shows hosted by those presenters.

Yet on Pier's show last night, the way he spoke to Henry Bolton was truly disgusting. He was so rude and aggressive towards Henry for holding views that Piers didn't agree with.

As a result I switched off from Pier's show after that segment and quite possibly for good.

If Henry has any sense, he will tell Piers to do one, if asked back again in future.

Pier's goes against the general narrative of all other Talk TV presenters. He is a 'Liberal' and 'anti woke' but only on his terms.

He keeps hanging on about the one illegal migrant who helped the NHS. That is one person out of many tens/hundreds of thousands who didn't. He also keeps using this one person as a justification as to why the UK should keep accepting many thousands of illegal migrants every year.

He is really off the mark of the concensenous of many Talk TV viewers and the UK population as a whole regarding this situation.

Piers is a big supporter of free speech...... but only his own.


I avoid talk tv when his show is on and if I happen upon a repeat of it, I switch off.

He's a terrible addition to the station.
I hope his contract isnt renewed or if it is, I hope they cut him down to one show a week and no repeats.

I love Mike Graham, Richard Tice, David Bull and Kevin O'Sullivan's shows. Ian Collins is ok, too.

The best bit of the week for me is when Ally Ross joins Kevin on Saturday nights. Those two are a great double act and I have a bit of a crush on Ally.

I initially welcomed Piers when joined Talk TV.

However, there have been a couple of times recently (yesterday being one) when I've thought "Just F*ck Off, Piers."

His whole ethos seems to go against the grain of the general Talk TV narrative of centre right common sense discussion. Which many viewers tune in for.

I don't see Piers laying into the likes of Mike Graham, Kevin O'Sullivan, Jeremy Kyle, Richard Tice and David Bull whom share Henry Bolton's opinions.

Of course he won't, as that would put him on a collision course with his Talk TV counterparts. Choosing to have a pop at one of his guests instead.

James Whale featuring Ash can be entertaining too. 😆
