ECB unveils talkSPORT as a new Broadcast Partner

This is great news for all cricket fans. Our new partnership with talkSPORT means county cricket can reach an even wider audience and will help build on the excellent levels of coverage our domestic game already receives from all sections of the media. It’s also a significant boost for our two major limited overs competitions – both of which saw their crowds increase last summer following a season which resulted in record attendances for domestic and international cricket.

Sanjay Patel, ECB Commercial Director

Cricket is at the heart of the talkSPORT 2 schedule and the success of our coverage of the World Twenty20 and Indian Premier League has already shown there’s a huge appetite for our brand of limited-overs action. With personalities like Darren Gough on talkSPORT every day, we want to change the way cricket fans listen to the sport and I believe this is the start of a fantastic partnership with the ECB.
