Talk Back (BBC Radio Ulster)
- Talk Back (BBC Radio Ulster)
Talk Back is BBC Radio Ulster's award winning daily political and current-affairs phone-in programme. It was launched on 8 September 1986.
Monday to Saturday, just after the mid-day news, veteran broadcaster David Dunseith -- affectionately known by some Northern Ireland politicians as "the great interrupter" -- hosts a 90-minute speech-only programme which has been described by The Guardian as "an alternative peace process", and by Stephen Coleman, Director of Studies at The Hansard Society for Parliamentary Government, as "a public sounding board which reaches a larger listening audience than any other European phone in."
The programme's first presenter was Barry Cowan, who died in 2004, aged 56. Talk Back took the Silver Award in the 2006 Sony Radio Academy Awards for the News and Current Affairs programme of the year, and the programme marks its 20th anniversary on Friday 7 September 2006.
