==Other media== * ''Soccer Bet'' was a short-lived 68-page weekly magazine which Talksport had hoped would appeal to football fans that enjoyed betting on games. It was designed in a smaller A5 format to make it easy for fans to carry and the launch was backed by a Β£500,000 promotional campaign. ''Soccer Bet'' lasted just two months before it was axed in October 2003 due to poor sales.<ref>[http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=24186§ioncode=1 Own goal for Soccer Bet] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412075138/http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=24186§ioncode=1 |date=12 April 2008 }} Press Gazette, 17 October 2003</ref> * ''Talksport TV'' launched in October 2004 platform broadcasting for six hours a day on the [[Sky (UK & Ireland)|Sky Digital]] television platform aiming to catch listeners who had arrived home from work.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/sep/15/citynews.radio | work=Media Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media | first=Chris | last=Tryhorn | title=MacKenzie takes TalkSport to TV | date=15 September 2004}}</ref> The service amounted to little more than the simulcasting of TalkSport's broadcasters and pundits presenting the station's ''Drive Time'' and ''Kick Off'' programmes.
