Talk Sport is available in all different sectors listeners are able to access it through applications on their mobile device, the talk sport website, through TV and is also available in digital audio broadcast.
This is one of the scheduling they have on their website for the 6th June 2019. In the scheduling it shows the updates of any of the matches from the previous day which includes the results, interviews, breaking stories and the reactions towards it, live sport coverage and another catch-up in the evening about what has happened throughout the day. This links very well to their vision/mission statement of the radio as they are updating their listeners who are interested in sports about what has been happening throughout the day and those listeners who are more keen to hear any interview/live updates on something would want to tune in and find out. For example, they could have probably interviewed the manager/player of a football team and ask them how they felt about their results, fans would like to tune in to find out about their favourite footballs team opinion and/or feelings.

The station specialises in the premier league and is made to inform the audience with news and updates on sport games, educate them with information about team players or managers or any breaking news and also entertain the audience with any interviews, phone-ins from the audience or live updates while the game is being played with commentary made by the hosts.
TalkSPORT has an audience who have a passion and interest on sports, the station insights the audience with live updates, results, interviews and discussions about matches that have been played throughout the day, making the station insightful and somewhat engaging to listen to depending on whether the listeners favourite team has won or a member has been interviewed. The radio station also does phone ins, this could include phone calls with the listeners and any opinion they have about the particular sport played. I believe this radio station has a niche audience as it would be listened by individuals who have a passion for sports, watching sports, but it could be open to all if anyone is interested in listening about any live updates or breaking stories.
The target audience are clearly members who would are interested in what is going on in the sports world and would like to get more information with the news that is happening with different sport players or listen to interviews from their favourite players or manager and see how they feel about the game they have just played.
