Don't leave LBC out of the race to create 'talk tv' channels. They've decided to play new signing Andrew Marr, Monday to Thursday at 6pm, for just an hour. (It's not clear how the rest of the schedule will be re-jigged - the 6pm is currently the last hour of three from another former Beeboid, Eddie Mair).
Andrew gets a producer with more tv experience than radio, Rob Burley, and the announcement notes the new show will be "televised live on Global Player." Matt Harris, who left LBC for Newsnight in 2017, comes back to assist.
The pandemic trend has been to give radio hosts longer and longer shows; this shorter commitment, therefore, is interesting. It suggests that there may be more hour-ish shows, as Global consider how to play Maitlis and Sopel in their schedules.
