William Hill Radio Explained

William Hill provides two free racing radio stations - one for horse racing, one for greyhounds - in the UK with commentary, racing news, interviews and more. All of the major horse races in the UK have live commentary through William Hill's Racing Radio service and this goes for some meetings in Ireland as well.

As most of the best horse racing bookies have switched to offering just streaming, William Hill's radio service is much appreciated among punters and many of them tune in every day. Of course, this response is also why William Hill continues to focus heavily on the radio. The broadcast usually starts around 15 minutes before the first race of the day in the UK.

How to Listen to William Hill's Racing Radio

Listening to William Hill's Racing Radio is a very straightforward process, as you simply have to open the app or the website and tap on the 'Radio' tab in the menu. Here, you will find the horse racing and greyhound racing broadcasts. Simply tap on the one you would like to listen to and it will start playing.

This is a great feature, don't get us wrong, but the William Hill app could improve by adding a proper media player for the Racing Radio service. Being able to play, pause, rewind and so on would have made the service truly fantastic, but one can also understand that William Hill prefers to focus on other sportsbook features.

William Hill's Racing Radio vs. Betting TV

As mentioned, most betting sites in the UK have switched to offering just live streaming instead of radio broadcasts to their customers. It makes a lot of sense as seeing the action with your own eyes is much better. On the other hand, there is clearly a demand for radio broadcasts as proven by William Hill's Racing Radio.

In any case, those looking to watch horse racing and greyhound action can do so through William Hill's popular Betting TV. When a race is streamed on the latter, it is completely free to watch and all you need is to register on the betting site. When it says Racing TV, on the other hand, a bet of at least £1 will be needed on the race to watch.

We have done a longer guide on William Hill's Betting TV which we recommend reading if you are looking to make the switch from Racing Radio to streaming, or if you are just curious!
