Radio City Talk (previously City Talk 105.9) was an Independent Local Radio station in Liverpool, England.

In May 2020, it was announced by Bauer that Radio City Talk would cease broadcasting, after concluding that the station was no longer financially viable to run.

The station ceased broadcasting on 1 June 2020 at 00:06.

Radio City Talk had made a number of changes to its format during its history.

The original team of presenters on the station included actors Margi Clarke and Dean Sullivan, horse racing commentator and drive time presenter Paul Jacobs, football personalities Ian St John and John Aldridge, broadcaster Kim Hughes who presented breakfast with Phil Easton, veteran talk show hosts Pete Price and Roy Basnett, and newspaper journalists Larry Nield and Brian Reade. Trisha Goddard also hosted a Sunday evening show called Talk to Trisha, broadcast down-the-line from the presenter's home in Norwich.

Regular news, sport and business bulletins were broadcast, as well as lifestyle, celebrity and comedy features.

In its first RAJAR released on the station's first anniversary, City Talk 105.9 had a weekly audience of 63,000 listeners and a total of 364,000 listening hours (averaging at 5.8 hours per listener). The business plan for the station anticipated the audience would be around 75,000 listeners, tuning in for 5 hours a week, producing 375000 listening hours each week. Furthermore, according to an analysis of RAJAR figures, the station only recorded a 4% listening share.
