TeamTalk 252

TeamTalk 252 was a short-lived sport-based radio station, based partially in the Republic of Ireland and partially in Leeds, which broadcast to the UK and Ireland for a few months in spring and summer 2002 on the longwave frequency 252 kHz, which had previously been used by Atlantic 252.

It unsuccessfully attempted to compete with talkSPORT, and with the sport output of BBC Radio Five Live.

The station closed down in July 2002. The last presenter was James H Reeve, who closed the station with the words "My dad always said don't start somthing you can't finish. He'd be proud of me now".

Its Irish long wave transmitter has since been reallocated to RTÉ Radio 1.
