This is a surprise. I would have expected that talkSPORT would have stuck to football at the time of the year, especially as the season just gets underway at that time.
I thought the original BBC subletting deal from Discovery had exclusive radio rights, but it is in fact non-exclusive. This is the final year of that deal before the new deal with WBD and the EBU kick in until 2032.
There's no mention of radio in the newer agreement, though talkSPORT aren't owned by WBD or part of the EBU, the chances of this happening again are slim.
