Between the news and travel when they are broadcast straight after each other at peaks, there is never more than one ad between ("the travel follows next" ie after the ad !!).
Yes - they have just played another five lasting 2.5 minutes. I might have an hour or two timing it sometime soon as I am not convinced what is happening is right. I can't stand J O'B - to me he is a creep - so it won't be this morning.
I just had the misfortune to hear 10 minutes of him around 10.30am news. First he lectured a caller in a very piggish way about establishing facts before ringing rather than providing anecdotes. Then immediately afterwards he said that he would have liked to have interviewed J D Salinger who died at the start of this year or the end of last year. Sorry but actually J D Salinger didn't die either at the start of this year or the end of last year. He died in Jan 2010.

Morning all.
As if the great J D Salinger would have had the time for some insecure squeeky 3rd rate broadcaster
.Got the gig at Newsround yet Jimbo?
And how did Chin manage to close the old one?
BTW, did you see my question about the name of the Danny Baker programme, so I can catch up with it? thanks
I'm sure he lives in hope!
We have a Tower Hamlets exclusive on the show tonight. Make sure you're listening at 7pm on @LBC Drive @MayorLutfur. You know you want to.
Don't you mean Newsnight Reg?
Brian's Newsround - a great idea!
I wonder if LBC was nominate Brian vs Farage for a Sony as best interview? Or if they are rather embarrassed about the bullying and 6th form nature of the interview?
Absolutely essential listening tonight at 7pm - I hope Iain Dale gives Lutfur a more thorough grilling than Ken and David did at the weekend...
Sorry, no I didn't. It's World Cup Brush up With Danny Baker BBC4 - repeated Thursday at 11pm. Very funny even if you're not into footie.
Once again so do I Mike.

thank you!
Haha, I have always said that Brian is an 'idiots utiles'
TD
No - (unless as a floor janitor with a mop)
Unfortunately I doubt if he will if it's anything like his interview with Rahman's spokesman Stephen Beckett last week.
Listening to Mr Dale on Drive earlier today He seemed to imply that Lutfur would not be coming onto His show.
However Mr Dale did say He had a surprise up His sleeve for us, I wonder what it is ;-)
Edit. Just confirmed by ID. Lutfur will NOT be on His show today.
Oh dear, looks like someone doesn't want to face the music. I was looking forward to what Lutfur had to say.
Farage is often on Newsnight, can you imagine the sort of lather James would find himself in, if seated anywhere near him? I reckon a stretcher to A&E might be called for...
Lisa could do the job in a kind of interview lite fashion - and they do share part similar heritages.A few carefully timed winks should do the trick to help relax him .
haha-
One can just imagine !
Out with the old , in with the new
LBC could do with a presenter spring clean itself
What if you're into footie but not into Danny Baker?
However, I'd like to thank Iain Dale for not letting the Tower Hamlets (my borough) fiasco die down.
