Talksport's programming consists of sports talk, live coverage, discussion and phone-in debate 24 hours a day.
The weekday schedule begins with the morning's sports news, debate and reaction on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, followed by Richard Keys and Andy Gray, who take an in-depth look at the day's sports stories and invite listeners to have their say. Hawksbee & Jacobs present through the afternoon with sports gossip, interviews and chat, followed by Drive Time with Adrian Durham and Darren Gough round-up the day's sports news with debate.
Kick Off, hosted by Mark Saggers, Danny Kelly, and Stan Collymore then guides listeners through the evening's sporting action with live commentary of selected matches. Andy Goldstein, Bobby Gould and Jason Cundy take further phone-calls and debate on The Sports Bar before handing over to the late night team, including Mike Graham and Jonny Gould with Extra Time, an overnight sports show with news, interviews and action from around the globe.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
