Frequently asked questions about Talk live
Talk has no place on the dial. It is one of the many British stations that launched as a stream rather than applying to Ofcom for a frequency, which is why specialist formats like this one exist at all — the audience for them is spread too thin for local FM. It plays here with nothing to install.
Speech, largely. British radio sustains a mass audience for talk that many countries do not — news, phone-ins, documentaries and comedy all hold peak slots — and Talk sits in that part of the dial.
Not blocked. Listening to British radio from abroad is one of the more common uses of streaming, and Talk is available worldwide, free and without an account.
Yes, and without installing anything — open this page on your phone and press play. Worth using wi-fi for long sessions, simply for the data.
Less than most people expect. Streaming Talk runs at roughly 30 to 60 MB an hour depending on the bitrate, well below video.
