LBC 97.3 is a London-based talk and phone-in radio station. It is one half of the latest incarnation of LBC, the news and speech service which was Britain's first commercial radio station when it went on air in October 1973. LBC's current format - with talk on 97.3FM and rolling news on LBC News 1152 - was established in January 2003.
The first bulletin on LBC was written by News Editor, later Programme Controller, Keith Belcher, and the first voice on air was Aussie import newsreader Ken Guy.
