Andrew Marr’s new LBC radio show is set to launch next month, and he’s vowed to ruffle feathers.
The veteran broadcaster, who quit the BBC last year, announced he had joined the station in November to get his ‘own voice back’.
Tonight With Andrew Marr will air Monday to Thursday, 6pm to 7pm, on LBC and will also be televised live, exclusively on Global Player. Its first broadcast will be March 7.
‘I’ve always thought journalism is about breaking stories, ruffling feathers and having some fun on the way,’ Marr said.
‘My new LBC show, Tonight with Andrew Marr is perfectly timed at 6pm, the end of busy political days, and stuffed with great guests, and will do just that.
‘Anyone wanting bland, safe, wearily predictable journalism is strongly advised to look elsewhere.’
Marr’s new political power hour will offer his definitive take on the day’s big stories, live from LBC’s state of the art studios.
The show will be packed with Marr’s trademark analysis, opinion, high profile guests and a plethora of big name national and international figures to dissect the defining issues of the day.
The new weekday programme will see Marr become the newest member of LBC’s impressive line-up, which boasts of Nick Ferrari, James O’Brien, Eddie Mair, Shelagh Fogarty, Iain Dale, Tom Swarbrick, David Lammy, Camilla Tominey and Matt Frei.
Tom Cheal, Managing Editor of LBC, said: ‘I’m delighted to welcome Andrew to our brilliant line-up of presenters.
‘Now with the freedom to share his views and broadcast in his own voice, Tonight With Andrew Marr will be packed with sharp opinion, insightful commentary and agenda-setting interviews, all delivered in Andrew’s fast-paced, vivid style.
‘At a time when LBC is celebrating record audiences, it promises to become another unmissable moment in our schedule.’
Marr had previously been at the BBC for 21 years after joining the corporation in 2000 as political editor.
He later spent 16 years at the helm of his own Sunday morning show.
Tonight with Andrew Marr will launch on LBC on March 7 at 6pm.
