    Hi all, mabe a bit of a long shot.
    For a long time now I have been listening to Talksport radio from London over the internet. I only listen late at night to Ian Collins. My problem is that they have just changed the look of the website and I cannot get to hear the radio broadcast anymore.

    Theres a box with 'listen live' which I click then a pop up come up and plays an add for Sky sports. This would normally be followed by the programme currently being broadcast but when the ad stops......thats it, nothing.

    I also can't find an email address to contact them.

    Any help out there please . Thanks.

    WOW, Thanks Bossdrum. Amazing, one click and my windows Media player comes up with Talksport blasting out. Fantastic. I just wish I knew how that works. I have saved the shortcut to my Dektop now.
    Thanks again.

    Talksport was so great until Dickin died. Then it went downhill and Whale got fired.

    Never a big fan of Whale but Mike Dickin was my favourite radio presenter of all time. I haven't listened to Talksport since I left the UK a few years ago. Why did Whale get the bullet?

    'Blasting' being the operative word.


    Couldn't take it .

    I'm not 100% on this but I think it was because he endorsed Boris Johnson on his programme for London mayor which is against broadcasting rules during an election.

    It was during elections campaign time and he was discussing the various candidates and he remarked about one candidate something like "yea he's good, I like him, I'd vote for him", I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. It was his last broadcast.

    I believe he intended to do internet radio after that but I never got to listening to it.

    Of course Ash is still there as engineer for Ian Collins.

    And of course Mike DIckens was a great loss too.
