LBC London

LBC London is the London service of LBC, the United Kingdom's best-known news and talk radio station. It broadcasts a schedule of live presenter-led shows, news bulletins, interviews and listener phone-ins focused on politics, current affairs and the issues of the day.

LBC began broadcasting on 8 October 1973 as the country's first licensed commercial radio station, originally under the name London Broadcasting Company. It is now owned by Global and is broadcast on 97.3 FM in London, as well as on digital radio, online and through apps. The name is now explained as Leading Britain's Conversation. The station is in English.

Expect lively debate, opinionated presenters and a heavy emphasis on callers. The stream offered here is an AAC feed at a low bitrate of about 48 kbps, which is light on data and works well on mobile connections. The stream was tested and plays correctly, with the station's name and a talk genre label in its metadata. It suits listeners who want to follow British news and public debate live, whether they are in London or elsewhere in the world.
