talkSPORT, the world’s biggest sports radio station has reached agreement with Chang Siam Group to bring official, live English Premier League audio commentary to fans in Thailand for the next three football seasons, starting with 2016/17.

For the first time, football fans in Thailand will be able to listen to official, live EPL commentary in Thai. 

 As global audio partner of the Barclays Premier League (English Premier League from 2016), talkSPORT controls an exclusive package of international audio rights until 2019, allowing the station to broadcast official live commentary of all 380 Premier League matches in any language to listeners around the world, outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland.

 Chang Siam Group was started 12 years ago by husband and wife team Mark and Chanichar Bond. It also runs Sport Plus radio.   

 Scott Taunton, Chief Operating Officer of talkSPORT, said: “We’re really excited to bring the passion and excitement of the English Premier League to Thai fans from next season, through this multi-platform partnership with Chang Siam Group.  Radio has a unique ability to convey all the live drama of a 90-minute football match, and listeners in Thailand can finally experience this via talkSPORT’s unique commentary and expert insight.”

 Chanichar Bond, CEO of Chang Siam Group said:  “We are delighted to enter into this agreement with talkSPORT, especially after Leicester City’s astonishing success. As a Thai person, to be able to play a part in bringing the excitement of the official English Premier league in English AND Thai to the whole of the Thai Nation for the first time is a very proud moment for me.”
