In the evening they will be bringing London a dedicated fan show for all the top tier London football clubs, hosted by fan podcasters, with all the Championship and Premier League clubs and issues discussed.

“Never before has each London club had its own show on London radio, which will be a must-listen for hundreds of thousands of fans,” said LOVE SPORT commercial director Kurt Edwards.

“Londoners want a change when it comes to sports radio and we are working hard to give them just that. New talent, new programming and dedicated fan shows while being unashamedly London.”
