talkSPORT
In 2024, talkSPORT broadcast full coverage of the Olympic Games in a first for UK commercial radio. We were central to the planning and delivery of everything that was broadcast from the day the deal was announced through to the Closing Ceremony. We identified and worked with the on air talent to deliver outstanding coverage for the world’s biggest sports radio station! In 2025, the talkSPORT Olympics won best Audio Live Event Coverage at the Sports Journalist Association Awards.
