ILN marks it's 100th post by this important news.....Hello ladies and gentlemen.This will the 3rd time he moves slot, firstly with his 10-1 Weekends slot then to 4-7/3-6:30 Weekdays since last year.
The ratings are indeed irrelevant to me.
I am being moved to a different slot.
This is not ratings related as I was told last Wednesday.
You know I was. I really was.
Thank you.
Iain

So that means that Triple M is staying on Sundays.
So you've probably heard the news. I shall be moving LBC slots at the start of the year. The afternoon show shall be no more. I've been told it's because of listeners, but the figures are certainly up from when I took over, and peak quite high at 5.30. The bosses have said the show is too culty and isn't mainstream enough for that slot. I'm depressed about it and more than a little dissappointed (I can never spell that word!) but hey, they're not sacking me. I can still pay the mortgage. And I can still do a radio show, hopefully with a little more freedom and less ads then I have now. I have a vague idea what the new slot will be, but until I know for sure do you mind if I keep it under my hat? People will be moved, some will not be getting their contracts renewed. It's always a tough time for the self employed presenter, so please let this news come in it's own time.
Hey, good news, Triple M on a Sunday is doing brilliantly well, getting fantastic listeners. So that's safe. That's in the bag. Do not panic about that or anything. We shall still have fun. Promise.

Clive Bull isn't very well today so Nick Abbot will be filling in for him tonight (19 Oct 8pm-12am).
The Iain Lee Forum will be mergered with it's sister forum Tommy Boyd Forum as of this sunday. The new name hasn't be released but it will be generic name.Hello!We will updating as soon as this change happens on Sunday.
This is a subject which has appeared often on the TommyBoydForum.com site, not so much this one.
But after talking to a few members, and the backing of Sir Iain himself, we're going to go ahead with this idea i've had.
Whilst the chatroom draws more than its fair share of Internet users on a Sunday night, I feel that the forum isn't used anywhere near as much as it could be. I cannot seem to justify there being a forum here other than to house the chatroom.
I happened to notice when i started sharing the chatroom between Tommys and Iains shows on a Sunday night, that Tommy and Iain fans tend to like the same sort of radio.
So i thought why have separate forums, when we can have one big one? Now this has been talked about before on the TommyBoydForum.com, and a lot of people didn't like it. But i've made a slight alteration to the plan which i hope people will like. The new forum will have the usual discussion sections like General Discussion, Funnies, Argument Area and so forth, but will house separate sections for each presenter. So if a particular user doesn't like Tommy or Iain, they can keep to their sections. But at the SAME TIME they can meet new people in the General Chat sections and what have you. I think this can only be good for the community, and Iain seems to think it's a good idea.
There will be one BIG chatroom for everybody. It will unlike the current one also work over firewalls etc, so Iain can drop in on the new chatroom whilst he is doing his show which'll be a laugh no dout!
The great thing about this idea will be that, we don't have to stop at Tommy or Iain, we can draw even more new members in with sections about Clive Bull, or the likes of Danny Baker, perhaps even Howard Stern who knows! I think it could be great.
Whilst i appreciated your opinions in other threads i've talked about this, I am now making the decision that it's definitely going to happen, and will definitely be open for the two shows this Sunday.
Now before you ask, we are starting afresh members wise. There are too many members here who don't post, so we are wiping the slate clean as far as members go, so you will have to sign up again. However, i am going to transfer the posts from each forum into their said sections, so the history of these sites will not be lost.
When that is done however, TommyBoydForum.com and IainLeeForum.com will no longer exist. The web addresses will link to the new site, but their lives as separate sites will be over as of this Sunday
I'll let you know of the new address when it is registered. Until then, feel free to comment
London Talkback Radio was the successful part of the split of LBC on October 1989 unlike LBC Crown FM & Talkback lasted until LBC weren't rewarded it's licence.
Tommy Boyd's Internet Sunday Show has been cancelled because of "Protocol Issues", if this problem will been fixed then the show will be back next sunday.Hi, this is a bit spammish, but I don't know any other way of reaching each in the SCR Skype community. The BBC are still wading through protocols with taking the Sunday night show forward, so we are stood down for one more Sunday, hopefully back "on air" on Sunday 22nd Oct. Perhaps you could flag this to any commuinities you are in with, so they know the score. Meantime thanks again for your involvement, this is cooking up very nicely.
Iain will be on TV screens soon, On 28th October Iain will be on movie review comedy with Mark Dolan & Terry Jones, Popcorn will be on Sky TV in the 28th.
