Talk has confirmed that presenter Mike Graham will not return to the station following an internal investigation into an “abhorrent and vile” post that appeared on his Facebook page in October.

In a statement, the company said Mike initially agreed to cooperate fully with its investigation, which involved an independent forensic firm. However, he later “reneged on several opportunities to cooperate” with the process.
Talk said it had been “gravely concerned at his repeated failure to cooperate on such a serious matter,” adding that the decision has now been taken for him not to return to the station.
Mike Graham has presented on Talk since 2010, hosting a range of shows including The Independent Republic of Mike Graham on weekday mornings.
He’s been suspended since the post appeared on his Facebook, which appeared because his Facebook account was hacked, according to Mike.
Just yesterday, he posted a video on X thanking his supporters, and saying sorry for cancelling his show at the Shepherd Bush Empire this week.

Drift Radio is celebrating its fifth anniversary by launching on DAB+ digital radio across the North Wales coast, marking a major step for the community dance and electronic music station.

The Rhyl-based broadcaster will now reach new audiences alongside its existing online stream, mobile app, and smart speaker access.
Founded to reflect the energy and creativity of coastal life, Drift has grown into a dedicated platform for DJs, producers, and fans of electronic music.
The station says it has built a loyal audience, hosted live events, and supported emerging talent through its evening programming over the last five years.
Co-founder Kevin Wright said: “We’re incredibly proud to be marking five years of Drift with our move onto DAB+. When we started there was nothing quite like this for our community. Drift gives people who love dance and electronic music a place to connect and be heard.”
Presenter Mark Cava added that the station’s progress “shows how Drift brings people together through music and gives everyone the chance to learn and grow in broadcasting.”
To coincide with the DAB+ launch, Drift has introduced a new mobile app that lets users listen live, view the DJ schedule, check local events, and chat with other listeners.
The expansion has been supported by Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council and funding from the Denbighshire Key Fund, which helped facilitate the technical move to DAB+.
Drift is now inviting local businesses and organisations to collaborate through sponsorship and partnership opportunities as it continues to grow its presence across North Wales.
Listeners can now find Drift Radio on DAB+ along the North Wales coast, online at drift.radio, or via the Drift Radio app.
