Your spot on, the adverts and news do get played into the studio as well however the presenter usually would be talking to there producer either via talkback or the producer will come into the studio. As you say the person who has to keep a listen out is the person driving the desk.
The presenters do hear the adverts, the feed that is played into the studio and headphones is an off air feed pre delay (Usually 97.3 Pre Delay) so adverts, news and travel is all heard. As you say LBC adverts are split so they will hear one set.
As you say the timings have to be the same on all stations, this is relatively easy on LBC as the station is only split 3 ways max where as something like the Heart Network is split on a massive scale in comparison. On the log for person driving the desk it will say something like SLAVE BREAK XX:15 - 2:00 when this command is played the play out system splits the feeds and starts the split advert players in the racks room.
To make timings correct as you say filler adverts are used, these are sometimes promos for different shows, company owned businesses or sometimes when adverts are sold as a deal breaker that will tell the company they will put them down for filler adverts as well meaning potentially a bit more airtime for the buyer.
Okay, so although the ads/traffic etc comes through on their headphones they can still elect not to listen if they need to and converse in the background.
I'm guessing they still need to be careful doing this in order to avoid missing their next cue ins etc.
Why do they need to Jingle saying " This is LBC with John Stapleton in for Ian Dale on Drive ......?" when he could have a set jingle for himself. It's the same when Ian is on Breakfast?
The breakfast show and Drive show have different Jingles to the other shows. The breakfast and drive jingles say "Nick Ferrari at Breakfast" and "Iain Dale at Drive". When John sits in for JOB or Andrew Pierce he will have the jingle they use on most shows which is the "John Stapleton on LBC" jingle.
Really enjoyed Nick Ferrari at Breakfast this morning, Nick talking to the hair lice woman was a very funny conversation. Also, I laughed out loud when Nick said "Dean thinks we shouldn't give anyone benefits at all. Have they let him out for a couple of days or is he having a laugh? Let's find out which".
I can't understand the criticism of Ferrari. He has the best breakfast show on the radio!
So much for all the speculation on what presenters do during the ad breaks, I just assumed they went to the loo, had a drink and grabbed a quick bite. In fact I'm sure I have heard NF finishing his bacon butty after the 8am news/travel/advert break

I heard that and it made me laugh too but, I didn't listen to Nick at all today.

Yes, they are the two flagship programmes on the station and they are presumably trying to maintain their 'identity'.
The trouble is Vallen criticises those who in many respects are more popular and successful (in their own way) than he is. He is just a radio jock or presenter who's stayed where he is for much of his sad old life.:(

After the breaks (ads and news) there is always an id (for the presenter) jingle, so that is all they need listen for.
I think Nick Abbott drives the desk on his shows with the jingles and ads etc as Ive heard him talking about cueing it up before. I think that was the old studios, as they have been upgraded recently. I don't know about the rest as the tech guys do. Check out the LBC button pusher as he's called on Twitter.
Mike is perfectly capable of defending himself but for the record I am most definitely on his side.
On Zoopla the current valuation of the O'Brien house is £1,205,908 (info in public domain) Now I would regard that as being a posh area based on the definition of the word itself
I heard that and it made me laugh too but, I didn't listen to Nick at all today.
My apologies. It was George Galloway who said that, not Nick Ferrari.
The thing that did make me laugh out loud on Nick's show today was his reaction to the 'build a new Abu Dhabi in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert to house the illegal immigrants" callers. "We need a detention here. 20 lines of 'I must not waste Nick's time'":D:D:D

Loony lefties who are incapable of separating his skills as a presenter from his political tendencies?.
I went on Steve Allen's show in 1988 and remember that he got a 30-sec cue before coming out of a break. So it's clearly changed since then.
No, I think they must still need some sort of alert or timed count down. It would be so easy to get distracted if you weren't paying attention. Some of those breaks can be up to six minutes or so with the news/travel/ads and a jingle or two all thrown in. Radiodad?
You never heard of 192.com? His address is in the public domain, as is everyone else who is on the electoral roll.
Not quite. You have to pay 192.com to get those sort of details, and I've certainly no interest or intention in paying them anything just to find out where J'OB lives. I don't do stalking or spying. I'm not that desperate. <Rolls Eyes>

Yes, so have I, unfortunately. With that and Henk Potts catarrh, it's a bit much that time of morning.
After hearing Johnnie of Brixton ribbing NF about him being 59. Looked him up on Wiki, born 31st January 1959, so not far off.

Did I suggest you were?. I was simply countering your suggestion that it was a "farcical claim" for someone to know JOB's address when in face anyone can find it for the cost of a pint of lager. *eye roll*

Hello Shirl! I have definitely heard Ferrari chomping on a bacon roll but we've all heard the presenter before him breaking wind horribly and violently on air...

Essentially it is still a London station that's heard nationally. Or take it off DAB and Freeview.

You have his address then ?

Or in Alison Bell's case she used to nip out for a cigarette. I remember her saying!

And I don't mean Lisa Aziz.
Haha, great minds Connor! Amended my post and coincided with yours...
