LBC Radio

While staying in a flat in Southwark we came across LBC 97.3 FM. It was an enkoyable listen while getting ready to head out in the morning or just relaxing in the evening. The topics were extremely varied including all the controversy over council housing and the new bicycle hire scheme. A fresh alternative to BBC.

LBC Radio comprises two stations, LBC News 1152AM, a rolling London news station and, my favourite, LBC 97.3FM, a station dedicated to London-​centric talk-​back radio.
The penchant for talk-​back radio must be genetic. My mother is obsessed. And since moving to London I have found myself at times engrossed in and at times appalled by LBC, i.e., ‘London’s Biggest Conversation’.
OK, OK, some of the presenters are a little right wing, some downright misogynistic, and ex-​Apprentice contestants are a dime a dozen, but LBC is nothing if not varied.
Right now, for example, Commie poster-​boy and ex-​London mayor Ken Livingston is discussing the de Menezes case with a Conservative MP. Definitely worth a listen.
