    It's not on the net, and on Sky 0108 it just keeps repeating a message, "There is a fault, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible". Stikes me as odd, if the fault is across all channels its obviously at production end.

    This is on Talksport.net as an explanation for their silence

    "If you're experiencing problems this morning listening to your favourite radio station then fear not! talkSPORT will return soon, as soon as the technical monkeys have finished soldering their tails to tables!"

    Alan Brazil allegedly said "Big Jock Knew" so they took it off air

    Zabeel have made them an Indicative offer (with a view to rebranding them talkCHARLTON) and have placed a gag order on them for the duration of Due Diligence.

    Think about the change of presenters, Sweaty instead of Brazil. Mendonca instead of Wrighty. We could even have a late night chat show all the way from Belize called "It's a jungle out there"

    Disgraceful the way they outed James Whale, cant stand George Galloway or Adrian Goldberg of an evening.

    Have to admit though, Wrighty & Durham make me laugh everytime I listen, hilarious and very close to the knuckle sometimes.

    Alan Brazil probably spontaneously combusted

    I'm amazed he's still in a job, no other company would put up with his boozing

    "Deepeff depff"

    he doesn't drink on the job does he.

    his show is too popular as shown before - they tried to get rid of him tiwce before and the listenenrs kicked up big time to get him back.

    Is it the 'MOTHER OF ALL COCKUPS'? I tried to email Galloway at a non TalkSport website. Site was 2 years out of date!

    Listen from 6-10 and 1-4 only.
    Durhams a c*ck and Gaunty thinks hes the best thing on radio.
    Agree with D about Whaley.

    I listen in the mornings and then from 1 to about 6. Brazil and Irani are good value, H n J always make me smile and Wrighty and Durham are good in small doses (Durham is a wind up merchant that is why he is on there and I never like Wrighty until he got on the radio)
