Sky Sports News Radio was a British online radio station broadcasting sports news, results and information 24 hours a day that lasted for 4 years, from June 2010 to September 2014.
[1] The station was also available via the Sky Sports Apps and later third party platforms such as Radioplayer, TuneIn Radio and The Pure Lounge.
The station originally had a rolling news format but switched to presenter led programming for a possible launch on DAB which never materialised, leading to a return to a rolling news format with many of its regular programmes becoming into podcasts including the Transfer Centre, Football League Hour and Boots N' All.
The station featured a regular Saturday morning Horse Racing show titled "Blazing Saddles", hosted by a number of the Sportslive Radio team including Ian Brindle, Jamie Watson and Nick Millard.
The station's roster of broadcasters included former Talksport presenter and commentator Chris Cooper, former Real Radio sports editor Ben Ransom, BT sports reporter Emma Dodds, Sky Sports news reporter Tim Thornton, occasional Absolute Radio commentator Mikey Burrows and another former Talksport presenter Tom Macleod.
