The BBC may have been forced to pull the plug on Saturday’s football coverage, but fear not, as talkSPORT is here to save the day.
In fact, we have sent a bit of a reminder to our national broadcasters that talkSPORT – the world’s biggest sports radio station – are here to help.

Lineker is at the centre of an impartiality row, leading to him stepping away from MOTD hosting duty
The BBC have seen their schedule torn to shreds following the huge backlash to their ongoing dispute with presenter Gary Lineker.
The popular England legend was forced to step back from Match of the Day due to comments made about the UK government’s new asylum policy.
This led to a mass boycott of Match of the Day by other presenters, pundits, commentators, players and managers – meaning that the rest of the BBC’s football programming is being affected across TV and radio.
This included Football Focus, Final Score and BBC Radio Five Live’s Saturday afternoon output.
It meant talkSPORT was the place to be for full coverage of Saturday’s Premier League action on the radio.
Meanwhile, the BBC will be forced to air a stripped back version of Match of the Day on Saturday night, with no commentary and no match analysis – and the entire programme is set to be just 20 minutes long.
