Garage Talk Radio Expands with New Mid-Morning Show Hosted by Alex James

Garage Talk Radio has announced the launch of a brand-new live show, further expanding its programming and strengthening its position as a dedicated voice for the automotive aftermarket.

The new programme, hosted by Alex James, will air every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30am until 12:30pm, immediately following the popular Garage Talk Radio Breakfast Show.

The launch represents the next stage in the growth of the station, which has quickly established itself as a platform connecting garages, technicians, suppliers, manufacturers and industry professionals through engaging content and discussion.

Listeners can expect a mix of great music, live studio guests, interviews, industry conversations and exclusive features, with additional content announcements planned in the coming months.

Garage Talk Radio can currently be accessed through Alexa-enabled devices and via the station's website, allowing listeners to tune in from workshops, offices and homes across the UK. Plans are also underway to launch a dedicated mobile app later in 2026, providing even greater accessibility for the growing audience.

Ben Coates, founder of Garage Talk Radio, said: "Since launching Garage Talk Radio Breakfast, we've been overwhelmed by the support from across the automotive aftermarket. The response has shown there is a real appetite for a radio station dedicated to our industry.

"The addition of Alex James and a second live show is a major step forward. We want to continue creating engaging content, showcasing the people behind the industry and providing a platform where businesses and individuals can share their stories."

Alex James added: "I'm excited to be joining Garage Talk Radio and helping to build something unique for the automotive aftermarket. There are so many interesting people and businesses within the sector, and I'm looking forward to bringing their stories to listeners while creating a show that's informative, entertaining and enjoyable."

Alongside the launch, Garage Talk Radio is opening sponsorship opportunities for both the Breakfast Show and the new mid-morning programme. Packages start from £900 + VAT per month and provide brands with the opportunity to connect directly with a highly engaged automotive aftermarket audience.

With further programming developments planned and audience growth continuing, Garage Talk Radio aims to become the go-to audio platform for the UK's independent automotive aftermarket.
