Absolute Radio is to broadcast live Premier League commentray from next season.

The station will broadcast 32 matches each season after buying the second pick Saturday 3pm package which is currently held by TalkSPORT.

Avsolute plans to broadcast the commentaries on its national AM feed with its London service broadcasting "Rock And Roll Football" which currently broadcasts each Saturday afternoon during the football season. Absolute hopes to broadcast both on its DAB service but will ened Ofcom's permission to do that.

Absolute Radio chief operating officer, Clive Dickens, said "Absolute Radio is a music and entertainment brand with audio as its core. Football is an obvious extension of our entertainment offering. We have a solid presenter lineup including world-class comedic talent Frank Skinner and Dave Gorman, an unprecedented support of live music and now this new exclusive football offering. It is a compelling mix," Dickens added.

Bosses will be hoping that this deal will help to stop the slide in the number of people listening to the station, which has fallen to less than 1.5 million.
