Times Radio

The Times's own radio station, and the alternative to LBC for listeners who want analysis more than argument. Times Radio launched in June 2020 and belongs to News UK, the publisher of The Times and The Sun. It started without ad breaks, earning its money from sponsorship instead, and opened on its first morning with an interview with the prime minister, Boris Johnson. In the third quarter of 2026 it reached 619,000 listeners a week, a 10% rise on a year earlier and just behind GB News on radio. Worth a try if you like your Westminster coverage delivered at a conversational pace.
