George Galloway and Iain Lee will soon be invading your airwaves.

They have been announced as two of the presenters on new speech radio station talkRADIO, which is set to launch on March 21. Lee will present the late-night slot at 10pm-1am, while Galloway will host every Friday at 7pm-10pm.

As a result of his London mayoral election campaign, Galloway will be restricted from broadcasting for the first six weeks of talkRADIO.

Paul Ross will be hosting The Breakfast Show at 6am-10am every weekday, Question Time regular Julia Hartley-Brewer will take over at 10am-1pm, and former Heat editor Sam Delaney will host the Drivetime slot at 4pm-7pm.

The weekend hosts are yet to be announced for the channel, which is part of the UTV Media (GB) portfolio of brands.

Liam Fisher, National Radio Controller for UTV Media, commented: "talkRADIO will give listeners something completely different from morning until night with presenters and content guaranteed to get you talking. Our work is still not done, with more fantastic presenters to be announced later this month."
