The station will be paid for by sponsorship deals - and the deals will presumably be based on the number of listeners.Quote:

That was my thought, though it'll do well to be more right wing than Radio 4.Quote:

Many critics, as well as the former R4 stalwart John Humphreys, accuse the BBC of being too left-wing.Quote:

Started listening to James Obrien on LBC. Decent commentator who actually challenges this awful Tory government.
Another right wing commentator poached from BBC.Quote:

Probably a right wing bias but there's Ayesha Hazarika, Stig Abel as well as a few former BBC presenters who more than lean to the left.
I've been listening to him on and off for several years. Amazed he's got a decent slot on LBC. Nick Ferrari and Ian Dale are cringeworthy tossers.Quote:

I like listening to Adrian Chiles on BBC Radio 5 Live on Fridays and Dotun Adebayo late at night if I can't sleep.
you think but you're a labour activist so we should treat your comments with the same degree of sceptisism. Or shouldn't we?Quote:

No, I've not seen that. I didn't mention Hazarika, only Abell. I just automatically relate anyone who's worked for that rag to be right-wing.Quote:
