Programme Automation
There are no automated programmes on London's LBC 97.3FM. Whilst a small number of programmes (typically ‘best of’ compilations and the like) are pre-recorded, a producer or studio manager is on hand should any major news stories break.
LBC news 1152AM is also live for the majority of the time. The report content of programmes between 2000 and 0500 and at weekends between 1800 and 0700 is automated, although the news element and programme supervision at those off-peak times remains live.
