UKLIVE Monday 5th October 2026 inc. The Mike Graham show 7-10am
Mike Graham's Monday morning went up on his channel the way every weekday does: as one long recording of the live broadcast, three hours of The Mike Graham Show followed by two of Littlewood & Cox. These full-length streams rarely travel far. A new upload here usually ends its first day around 5,000 views, and this one passed 100,000 in 17 hours.
The subject that ran through the morning was Gosport. The town across the harbor from Portsmouth was in the news over migrant boats arriving near a Navy base and coaches carrying the new arrivals under a police escort. That is the image in the title of one of the day's clips, which quotes Graham comparing the escort to one laid on for the Royal Family. In another clip, Marilyn Hawes talks about a veteran filmed outside his own home in the row. In the comments under the livestream, several people describe the Gosport area itself: a closed road, the old Haslar hospital site.
The guest viewers mention by name most often is Anna Poulter. Her segment with Graham, cut into its own clip under the line "We Could Be Living In North Korea", had its own strong first day, close to seven times the channel's usual start. The author Richard Lyon also came on to talk about his book on net zero, The Energy Trap.
Graham spent years presenting breakfast on talkRADIO. His channel, once simply The Mike Graham Show, now calls itself UKLIVE and runs a full weekday schedule, with programs from Jasmine Birtles and Liz Truss later in the day. On Monday it was the breakfast stream itself, not a short clip, that most people came to watch.
