Meet the talkSPORT Presenters
Ian Danter is a regular presenter, reporter and commentator for talkSPORT having joined the station in 2004 appearing on Matchday Live, Football First and Evening Kick-Off.
Prior to joining talkSPORT, Ian had been at BRMB and Capital Gold in Birmingham commentating and reporting on Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion matches. It was also BRMB that gave him his big break in radio when he became the BRMB "Eye in the Sky" travel reporter in 1998, before rapid progression saw him become the station’s drive time host within two years.
Ian’s Barmy Brummies show on BRMB, with its mix of music and freshly written topical sketches and parody songs became hugely popular in Birmingham, and he repeated that shows success in 2004 when he move to Midlands rivals 100.7 Heart FM to present Ian Danter's Sunday Carve-Up and was nominated for an NTL Commercial Radio Award that same year, but sadly lost out to a rival show.
During his time at talkSPORT, Ian has been a regular contributor to the Hawksbee & Jacobs show with Paul Hawksbee describing him as the “voice of them all” and having the “definitive Trevor Francis impression”. Ian was also part of talkSPORT’s commentary team in Germany for the 2006 World Cup alongside co-commentator Micky Quinn. In addition, he is the presenter of Sunday Matchday Live alongside Alvin Martin and Ray Hought and is a regular reporter on Matchday Live every Saturday at games in the Premier League.
Ian also presented a weekly music and comedy show on The Arrow between 2005 and 2007. The show was called Rock with Laughter and broadcasted every Saturday night between 11:00pm-12:00am playing classic rock tracks with classic comedy clips. He also appeared on Vintage Years each day from 9:00pm-11:00pm on The Arrow and Ian also presented on Gems TV and The Musicians Channel.
Aside from his love of sport and Birmingham City, Ian's other passion in life is American Glam Rock: Kiss.
