Not by much. SDN is 83% to Digital One's 91%.
Unless you have older DAB radios. Both of ours aren't compatible with the frequency that TalkRadio is on.
Yes - talkRADIO is only available on DAB+
McCoy and Phillips had a showbiz segment this afternoon. The editorial is definitely changing.

I imagine many of the people who set up the channel was that they were the voice of the "silent majority", just who were scared to speak their mind because of "woke bullies" or somewhat. Seems they're having a dramatic wakeup call.

Never before in 20 years of being on these forums have I ever seen anything willed so much to fail.
I 100% want it to fail. I don’t think it should be allowed to broadcast, and I don’t think any other government would allow it to exist.
Why do you feel this way?

Fox News isn't available in the UK generally.
Why the obsession? You mention Fox all the time - here, the old place, Media UK when that was still a thing. It's not relevant to the UK News agenda.

The last time I spoke my mind on Twitter (expressing concerns at Khan's re-election due to his poor record on crime) I had to shut my account down for 24 hours such was the level of abuse and hate speech thrown in my direction.
I think it's very true that there's a lot of people scared to speak up because of woke bullies. Unfortunately after the crisis a lot of them have had very little to do other than become keyboard warriors.
I'm talking about people getting pictures of me dressed in a Union Jack suit that were very clearly taken at the Eurovision Song Contest, and then using that as evidence to say I am a "flag-sha*ger."
I'm getting off topic now so I'll stop.
Originally recorded July 13...
Week of July 5-11, programmes from 6pm-midnight (steep decline is understandably due to the Euros): BBC 124k (-10%); Sky 52k (-8%); GBN 28k (-13%).

I think the racism after the Euros final has woken up a lot of people who no longer want to be lumped together in the anti-woke “silent majority” group. Not that there ever was a silent majority.
Generally across media, social media and in real life something clicked on Monday morning.

Leading with a story which comes after the presenter of Love Island. Classy.

To me, those two tweets seem to be in complete contradiction to one another.
Yes, very odd, very contradictory statement.

So there is no standard on taking the knee, but a presenter has somehow broken their standards by taking the knee? How on Earth is it possible to break something which does not exist?
