Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Originally standing for London Broadcasting Corporation (but now standing for "London's Biggest Conversation"), LBC has been going for over 30 years and is London's biggest talk radio network. It has call-in shows and entertainment shows, as well as a dedicated news station (LBC News, 1152 AM).

LBC has the distinction of being the oldest legal commercial radio station in the UK (not counting the Isle of Man), launching in October 1973 — eight days before Capital Radio.

Presenters include:

  • Nick Ferrari, who is the closest thing Britain has to a "shock jock"...although he's not nearly as controversial; he did get a rap from Ofcom over immigration, though. Ferrari is considerably right-wing, and had a spat with Mayor Ken Livingstone for a while (which seems to have been resolved, since "Red Ken" comes on Ferrari's show every so often). Does the weekday morning slot.
  • Clive Bull, who starts at 10:00 PM on a weekday and goes for three hours.

The station can be picked up online, across the United Kingdom via satellite and cable. If you live in the Southeast of England, turn your radio to 97.3 FM.
