New arrivals Gray and Keys boost UTV's TalkSport

The controversial hiring of former Sky Sports pair Andy Gray and Richard Keys at TalkSport is paying off after the radio station said it was on course to deliver a boost to full-year revenues.

Keys and Gray – who found themselves at the centre of a sexism row after a series of unguarded remarks were made public – are pulling in more than 100,000 extra listeners a week to TalkSport since they started on the station in February.
