History of White & Jordan on talkSPORT
The White & Jordan Show stands as one of the network’s flagship offerings alongside the likes of talkSPORT Breakfast, talkSPORT Drive, The Sports Bar and Kick Off. All have contributed to some impressive listening figures, not to mention millions in online views across the likes of YouTube and X.
Last year, the talkSPORT network recorded its highest-ever listening hours. The network reached 3.4 million listeners, an increase of 15.8% year-on-year with the White & Jordan show contributing nearly a third of that overall figure weekly.
That is just one of the reasons BetMGM sponsors White & Jordan though.

Aside from breaking the latest news and sharing their trademark unfiltered opinions, a number of high-profile guests from around the sporting world regularly join White & Jordan in the studio. These contributors actively engage with the dynamic duo, often in debate-style segments. Naturally, Jim and Simon are never short of opinions, leading to some truly iconic moments.
Regular guests of the show include former Premier League, Celtic and Republic of Ireland international manager and European Cup-winning player Martin O’Neill as well as former England and Liverpool footballer Danny Murphy. In addition, the likes of Arsenal ‘Invincible’ Martin Keown and ex-England captain Stuart Pearce frequently join White & Jordan to provide their own valuable insight on football and the wider sporting landscape.
