BBC Radio 5 live

The home of live news, sport and entertainment on BBC Radio

Each week over 6 million listeners tune in to Radio 5 live and 5 live Sports Extra. They listen to us above all for our mix of breaking news, live sport and entertainment.

We tell the day's news in an engaging and accessible way with stories from across the UK and around the world. We talk to people about what matters to them and we share their experiences. Whether by phone, text message, email or twitter, what our audience tells us is a vital part of our output. But we also draw on the BBC's huge range of expert journalists to offer live reports and expert analysis on whatever's happening that minute. And if something important is happening, our listeners can hear it live.

In sport we offer high quality commentary on major events as well as interviews and expert analysis across an exceptionally broad portfolio of sports - everything from football, cricket and rugby to golf, tennis and horse racing.

For the full story about our programmes, our presenters and everything we do, have a look at the BBC Radio 5 live website.
