lbc is right wing, neo liberal and pro zionist. these are the core attributes of all their presenters, not one of them falls short. so lbc doesnt need to direct an agenda since they already subscribe to it without the need for direction from the top.
he's superficially the same. theres far more going on underneath. JoB is an aspirational middle class, middle england "right wing" , "christian" "zionist" (all things he's attributed to himself in the last month or so). he appears 'liberal' because so many of the other hosts are not. he appears left because his usp at lbc is that he's taking the role of the resident lefty (which he certainly isnt). |

Yes, I just don't understand it. I'd assume lots of people were listening to the radio over Xmas, in the kitchen and so on, and that they'd want to promote their station over the festive period.
I know these are not charities, but LBC used to provide some company to lots of people who were alone at Xmas - they used to call in and say so - and I don't think it would destroy their station brand to have a bit of a change for a couple of days. |

For some reason I imagined all of this being said in a robotic voice.
anyway i dont think nick abbot has thought it through - about the automation of the railways/airplanes - waiting for when AI takes control of talk radio .. why pay people ££'s to sit around waffling |

The boasting that 'our coverage was better than yours' on the brutal hacking to death of a soldier is crass to say the least. a) Iain does tweet b) Eye witness phones in and speaks to producer c) Caller goes to air |

It's surely last year's schedule on the LBC website. It's now showing Andrew Pierce, Ken 'n Dave and Ian Payne in next Saturday. And Cristo and Olly appear to be back! Surely not.
Morning all.

You're very good at pinning labels on people. How would you describe yourself? Class, politics,religion? It would make it easier to assess you opinions of others if we know where your loyalties lie.

There you go - for anybody feeling nostalgic for the good old days at LBC. Or new listeners who have recently found it.

A caller to Andrew Castle has left him looking rather leaden footed and limited. As he rambled on about Muslim faith schools she widened the debate to Catholic ones like the one she went to. The truth is AC seems to do no research and just rattles on about whatever he is told is in the news.

"He knows when to stop me going off on a particular tangent, he knows when he needs to curb my sense of mischief and he knows when I am thinking of doing something which might not quite work. Those are all a little negative, but totally necessary in a good studio producer. Far too many producers repeatedly let their presenters get away with blue murder, often because the producer is often afraid of the consequences of telling the presenter something in their ear they don’t want to hear."
An extract from Iain Dales tribute to his departing producer. I wonder which other LBC presenters he might be alluding to........any ideas? |

Oh well ! I still can't see him returning, along with Cristo, Petrie and Olly Mann (all listed on next Saturday's schedule), all of whom have left the station.

Cristo, Petrie and Olly I can see returning for holiday cover. They all left on good terms and everyone needs a bit of overtime around the festive season

Maajid Nawaz missed an opportunity at the start of his show.
He should have explored the reasons why first generation Immigrants did not integrate. And what was done about that (eventually) - the various parts of the Race Relations Act. Where we are now is always interesting, but how we got here is rather important too. |

Heard Steve Allen play this clip this morning.
Sometimes Steve has conversations with his producer on-air but we don't get to hear the other side. Chris Moyles and his team decided to fill in the gaps and reveal the whole thing. http://www.radiox.co.uk/radio/chris-...lens-producer/ |

LBC haven't given a toss about Xmas for several years now.
Their only nod towards it is Steve Allen in the morning As has been said, LBC are the only radio station in the country with proper live talk output over Christmas, and for people on their own during the festive period, that is very important. I'm sure there will be many people tuned into LBC to keep them company over Christmas. And don't forget the country's 2 million Muslims, and thousands of others who follow religions which don't celebrate Christmas! Some of them will still want talk radio to listen to, and LBC is there to provide that. |
