William Hill provides two radio stations, which you can “tune into” for free below.
William Hill’s Horse Racing Radio is the longest-running and most popular of the bookmaker’s two channels. For more than ten years, it has been providing daily racing podcasts, news, previews (including regular Friday previews of the weekend races), interviews with racing experts and celebrities, entertaining banter and naps from respected tipsters.
As well as providing real-time commentary on all races in the UK and selected races in Ireland, Horse Racing Radio covers a number of significant races elsewhere – such as the Arc de Triomphe in France.
William Hill Horse Racing Radio is live 15 minutes before the first UK horse race and up until the last is weighed in.
You can also access Horse Racing Radio via the William Hill site.
As a second option, William Hill’s Greyhound Racing Radio offers live coverage of greyhound races run in the UK. Listen to live greyhound racing commentaries daily from 11 AM Sunday to Thursday and 10:30 AM Friday to Saturday.
William Hill's two radio channels are available when using any internet enabled device. To listen to William Hill Radio simply go to the William Hill website and use the WH Radio menu to choose the station you want to listen to. You can also access William Hill Radio on the William Hill App.
The William Hill App, available from the App Store, makes it possible to get William Hill radio on your mobile device.
Once you’ve installed the app, you can access William Hill radio by clicking the Radio option in the A-Z Sports menu. By default, this takes you to Horse Racing Radio, and live audio commentary starts playing automatically. A bar at the top of your screen identifies which radio channel you’re on, as well as giving a short summary of what’s currently being aired (for example, identifying the presenters and what they’re discussing).
To change channels, you click the button to the right of the bar. This opens a drop-down menu that lists the three stations. Simply select the channel you want.
Next to the icon for changing channels is a Close button, which you can click to stop the audio from streaming to your device and playing.
William Hill offers a telephone service that lets customers place and manage bets. The service also makes it possible to access 24-hour commentary from William Hill radio, using the phone. This means that even if you don’t have internet access, you can listen in on the latest news, predictions and betting tips.
William Hill radio publishes a daily naps table, which lists 20 bets selected by various tipsters as the best propositions for the day. Of course tipsters don’t always get it right – but it’s probably worth keeping an eye on what the top ones predict (especially when doing this doesn’t cost you anything!). This should form just part of the information you use when deciding what bets to place.
The table is updated daily at 11 a.m. For each bet, it lists the name of the tipster (or “napster”), the recommended selection with month and season form statistics, when and where the relevant event will be held and a Bet Now option. Once an event has been completed, the time and place details are replaced by the event results – for example, “Unplaced” or “Won @ 8/11”.

WILLIAM HILL HORSE RACING APP
Overview William Hill is one of the oldest bookmakers in the world. The company were founded in 1934 and started as a high street bookmaker. Whilst they still host a number of high street betting shops, the majority of their custom now comes from the online world and their superb online betting site. It’s often easy for the older generation of bookmakers to get stuck in their ways somewhat, and this has certainly been apparent for a few companies switching into the online era of betting. But William Hill have managed to embrace innovation, none more so than with their latest version of their mobile betting app. |
