Programming
The station broadcasts between 7am and 7pm on weekdays; from 7am to 6pm on Saturdays and between 7am and 5pm on Sundays. The evening and overnight service is a simulcast of sister station LBC 97.3.
In January and February 2012 the station reverted to live presentation throughout the day. For the previous four years parts of the daytime schedule had been automated.
The following month the station adopted a revised format with a new strapline: "London's news, travel and weather in 15 minutes, every 15 minutes".
Every 15 minute segment includes news headlines, several longer news reports or interviews, a travel bulletin, sports headlines and (on weekdays) business news.
Weekend features include an events guide, movie news, a showbiz roundup and local newspaper reviews.
The station's suppliers include Sky News Radio and Trafficlink.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
