LBC 97.3 leads the way for debate, analysis and opnion plus essential news, sport, travel and weather for London. We intent to listen to London, thus enabling our listeners to be the voice of London.”
The new imaging, which has been created by Seattle-based production company, IQ Beats, has been developed using live music played by the orchestra and also has the station’s new voice provided by voice over artist, Greg Marston.
