Times Radio

Times Radio is a UK speech radio station from News UK, bringing the reporting and analysis associated with The Times and The Sunday Times to live radio. Its approach is built around explanation, informed questioning and extended conversation: rather than simply repeating headlines, programmes explore what has happened, why it matters and what may come next. News, politics and current affairs sit at the centre of the schedule, alongside interviews and discussion about business, culture, sport and wider public life. The station launched in June 2020 and has developed a presenter-led format that combines journalists, broadcasters, commentators and guests. News UK describes its editorial approach as conversation over confrontation. That positioning is reflected in a mix of breaking-news coverage, interviews, analysis and programmes that give contributors time to explain their views and challenge assumptions. Coverage ranges from Westminster and UK policy to international developments, economics, technology and the stories shaping everyday life. Times Radio's presenter roster includes familiar voices from broadcasting and journalism such as Stig Abell, John Pienaar, Cathy Newman, Hugo Rifkind, Andrew Neil, Jane Garvey, Fi Glover, Kate McCann, Kait Borsay and Rosie Wright. The line-up and programme assignments can change, so listeners should check the station's current schedule for the latest presenters and timings. News UK also highlights the station's connection with the wider reporting resources of The Times and The Sunday Times, helping bring newspaper expertise and specialist correspondents into live discussion. The programming is designed for listeners who want more than short headline updates. Breakfast and daytime shows follow the developing news agenda, while interview-led programmes bring politicians, experts, journalists and people directly involved in major stories into the conversation. Drive-time and evening output revisit the day's biggest developments, and recorded highlights or catch-up options can help listeners find conversations they missed. Weekend programmes provide a different pace, with interviews, debate and broader subjects alongside the main news agenda. You can listen to Times Radio live through its official online listening destination and supported radio platforms. It is also carried on DAB digital radio in the UK. Availability can vary by location, device and platform, so use the station's own listening page for the current options. On a connected speaker or mobile device, search for Times Radio by its full name in the radio service you use; on a traditional DAB set, run a station scan if it does not appear in the list. For the most accurate information, use the official Times Radio page for listening and News UK's brand page for station background and presenter information. Programme schedules are subject to change, particularly when major news events require additional live coverage. Times Radio is best suited to audiences looking for live UK and world news, political reporting, thoughtful interviews and discussion grounded in the journalism of The Times and The Sunday Times.
