In May 2020, it was announced by Bauer that Radio City Talk would cease broadcasting, after concluding that the station was no longer financially viable to run.

The original team of presenters on the station included actors Margi Clarke and Dean Sullivan, horse racing commentator and drive time presenter Paul Jacobs, football personalities Ian St John and John Aldridge, broadcaster Kim Hughes who presented breakfast with Phil Easton, veteran talk show hosts Pete Price and Roy Basnett, and newspaper journalists Larry Nield and Brian Reade.

[2] Ofcom granted permission for the format change on 12 May 2009,[3] although the new licence still required the station to air late-night phone-ins and Saturday afternoon sports coverage, in addition to the daytime talk programming requested by Bauer.

This format aired for much of the day, except during the remaining presenter-led shows, such as the Pete Price phone in on Sunday – Thursday evenings and sports coverage, simulcast with Radio City.

Later, the station reintroduced live all-speech breakfast and drive time programmes on weekdays, presented by Mick Coyle and Adam Catterall.

[5] The request, which also removes requirements for all-speech shows at peak times and a late night phone-in, was approved three months later.

The station was targeted for listeners in North Wales, Cheshire and Liverpool however extensive broadcasts could be heard in Greater Manchester and Staffordshire.

The last song to be played was Hey Jude by The Beatles and at 12:06 a.m. on 1 June 2020, Radio City Talk went silent.
