Broadcasting from Sky Bet’s box at the Festival on Tuesday March 15th, talkSPORT 2 will focus on a wide range of live sport including football, horse racing, cricket, tennis, golf, rugby and US sport as well as offering plenty of specialised magazine programmes that haven’t previously had a home on national commercial radio.
