Rolling news from Global
LBC News launched on Monday 28 October 2019 as a sister station to LBC, Britain's biggest commercial talk station. While LBC focuses on phone-ins and debate, LBC News gives listeners a fast, straightforward way to catch up on the news at any time. It is owned by Global, the media group behind Capital, Heart, Smooth, Classic FM and Radio X, and draws on the newsroom resources of LBC and Global's national and regional news teams.
What you will hear
The LBC News format is built around regular news cycles, so you can tune in for a few minutes and quickly get up to speed. Each cycle includes the top national and international stories, political developments, business and money news, sport results, weather and travel information. When big stories break, LBC News provides extended coverage with reporters on the scene, live statements and expert analysis, and it often features key moments from interviews broadcast on LBC. It is ideal for commuters, people who want headlines while they work and anyone who prefers news without long debates.
