LBC 97.3 Radio Show
Bull's show aired live Sunday to Thursday from 10pm to 1am. With slight variations in show times, Bull has occupied the same late night slot since 1995 despite numerous changes of station brand and ownership during this time.
Discussions tended to focus around two or three topics each evening based loosely upon what is in the news, or what interested or affected Clive. However, Bull encouraged callers to talk about whatever they liked, on the basis that more interesting discussions come from things people genuinely care about. There were special-interest nights, including the successful science hour series with Brian J. Ford. Between 1999 and 2007 Bull's show was produced by Bob Johnson, who produced his last show on Thursday 20 December 2007. Previous producer Dan Wright went on to work for Independent Television News.
The 1991 short television programme Night Caller followed the callers to Clive's through-the-night show. The programme is available on YouTube.
In June 2011 Clive said he would be taking a break from talk radio, stating that "After thirty wonderful years with LBC, I'm looking forward to being up all day and going to bed at a sensible hour". Clive Bull was succeeded on the Late Show by his friend and former LBC colleague Anthony Davis. Less than a year later, Clive returned to LBC presenting a Sunday evening show, starting on Easter Sunday 2012.
