Iain Lee gone National!

Hello readers,

Sorry, I've haven't been posting much thanks to my horrible AOL connection but I've moved to Virgin Media few months ago. So it's all good!

As most of you know, Iain Lee left a few weeks ago at LBC who's been replaced (temporary?) by Nick Abbot. But Iain Lee will be back on the radio in the new year.

Former managing director of LBC and now programme director of Virgin Radio, David Lloyd hired Iain for a new Sunday slot at 10pm-1am starting from January 6th.

He said to MickYNMA from the Tommy Boyd Shrine Forums...

Yeah, pretty exciting. National. Gonna be a similar show, with no more than 8 records per hour thrown in. Same nonsense, mostly callers. Really looking forward to it. What with this and boyd, sunday night is once again the home of exciting radio.


Iain

So the show will be sticking to the old format but a bit of music thrown in (Good thing, he hasn't moved to Choice FM then)

Good luck to Iain and we hope it goes very well.

EDIT:

Iain Lee is on BBC London next sunday at 6 till 8pm (FM only)

Good Evening?

After many not very good entries, it was decided by Iain to call the 7-10pm Show, "Iain Lee's Good Evening".

Iain's new show will start broadcasting on 8 January 2007. Triple M won't have it's own slot on the weekday slot but Triple M can be on whenever Iain wants to. And Correspondents will be scraped because of most correspondents couldn't be bothered to phone in.

Drinking with Listeners on Wednesday was cancelled because of Security reasons but in the new year, Iain will have a picnic will his listeners in Hyde Park.

On the last The 3 and a Half Hour 3 'Till 6:30 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show featured a number of guests including Dave in The Hackney, Lynn from Forest Gate (who is not fat), Varinder, Gram, Yasser from the Stratford & Barry in The Watford. It was a brilliant show & must listen for Iain Lee fans.

Dave in The Hackney (wipasnapper) from DS & OnTheWireless.NET talked about him coming to LBC towers.

Ok guys....Wow what a show. I was dead nervous at first but then as time flew by I was very cool. I must say...Iain is the nicest person ive met on LBC. Ok i arrived at the studio at 3.50. Must say there was indeed tight security. Agent chris then escorted me uo to the studios. My first impression of agent chris..He does look very nice.

I then saw annabelle's family and congratulated her on her excellent correspondent updates. For a 12 year old i think she is a very very confident girl. Very nice parents she has. Phillip from south norwood was there along with Anne from twickenham. Both very very nice people. Phillip's voice is completely different on the radio than in real life. I managed to see how they ran things behind the glass with helen and lady alex. Both let me had a go with the jingles and dials.

Hehe it was funny to see how many people got red triangles beside their names (Dave from Croydon and Johnloony). We had about 1000+ calls during the first 2 hours which was fantastic.

I was really pleased to see Iain and had a chat about clive bull and vallen during the ads and travel. I wont go into details about vallen but he said clive is a genuine good man and he respects him.

Now lynne ....She is NOTHING as to what i thought about her when she rings in. She is one of the most beautiful women ive ever seen. Iain was genuinely shocked when he saw her. LOL other producers popped in to see what she looked like and they were taking pictures. Even Heather Jingles came in and gave her a kiss(I think hes got a fantastic figure and is a nice man). When she came in she was shivering. Me and Iain couldn't decide if she was nervous or cold. She was a bit freaky in when me and iain were joking about she took it seriously. I couldn't help myself laughing. Overall she is a pretty woman but needs to take things on the chest.

I did take pics of what she looked like. But she did say she didnt want both me and Iain to post it up on the internet.

When my time was up i stayed behind for a bit to see what yasser looks like. Man he is REAL hes no act. Hes got very nice eyes i must say lol. Gram was as grumpy and old but he did made me chuckle when he made some rude comments about Agent chris. Varinder was there. My God the boy is fat. LOL

Dave and Barry... Genius. You can make up your minds about them.

Overall i thought the show was absolutely great. I will miss Iain during the afternoon but also looking forward to hear him back in the early Evening.

10/10

Iain Lee will be back on 8 January 2007, 7 till 10pm Weekdays!

Iain's LBC Blog

Iain Lee's LBC Blog could be written by you, each day listeners will have the chance to post about that day's show.

Iain Lee News took part on Friday 1st December & we won and got our post put on the site

There are great posts in this blog but this is a poor excuse for a post.

It's the usual guff today on The Afternoon Wireless with the great loonies & freaks.

Horribly Iain was entering to Mike Dicken territorial (AHHHHH!) with a caller about clamping but Iain has done well & should get a medal. Also he want to get put on hold when he want the hold music from the Royal Mail. If you listen to Friday's show, e-mail & call Iain what the music is & where can he buy the piece of loveliness exploited in the dark deeps of Royal Mail Customer service.

And later tonight Iain will be going to the underground of LBC (rather a tent) to Becky Walsh's Psychic show for a reading (may be a lot of guff but hey). Don't miss that bit of Psychic show.

Good luck to Iain with Becky ;-)

Ross getting Drivetime

Accord to a UK comedy guide site, Paul Ross will replace Iain at Drivetime & Iain will have new show at 7pm but it's not know if it's Weekdays or Weekends. Paul Ross currently presents a Sunday morning show on LBC.

Iain was moved out of Drivetime because the bosses thought that he was too 'culty'. It's expected that LBC will be post the new scheduled in due course.

Update -

David Lloyd reveals most of the new weekday scheduled on his A View From The Top podcast.

1pm - Jim Davis
2-4pm - Anna Raeburn
4pm-6.30pm - Paul Ross (Mon-Thu & Sat)

It will really suit him judging by Sunday night Triple M and the end of the afternoon show performance

Iain off to LA!

Iain is off to LA to interview the LOST cast but he will be back in time (We hope) for Triple M this sunday.

So Nick Abbot will be filling in Iain, Nick Abbot could be the person that could take Iain's slot in the new year as Iain is moving to a new slot.

Iain moving slot but Triple M stays!

ILN marks it's 100th post by this important news.....

Breaking News is that Iain is moving to a new slot but we aren't sure where he would be moving, he says that LBC told him last wednesday.

Hello ladies and gentlemen.

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
x

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.

He will more likely move to his new slot in the new year as that where new contracts are given.

There are rumours that Danny Baker will leave BBC London for LBC 97.3 but they are just rumours & it suggested that Nick Abbot will be replacing Iain.

Update -

Iain has posted on his blog about the new slot

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.

So that means that Triple M is staying on Sundays.

Yasser is Back

Yasser in the Stratford is back on radio after Iain found his phone number & called him. And there was a treat when Varinder came on air to talk with Yasser.

A few months ago Yasser didn't call Iain's show because Iain "lied" about the clocks going back in the summer & Yasser came on for a Iain to say that the clocks are going forward on 29th October (How stupid Yasser is).

That's means Varinder won't be calling anymore as he was just a "filler" & Yasser will be calling 2 times a week.

Iain Lee Forum.com is closing!

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.

A few months IainLeeForum.com was made because the Iain Lee thread on the Tommy Boyd Forum was so popular & was decided for a seperate forum to be made. After that the Tommy Boyd Forum was remaining in the "dark".

The Webmaster of Both Forums, Ben posted this message

Hello!

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

We will updating as soon as this change happens on Sunday.

Here's the interview in MP3

Don't Tell Iain

Don't Tell Iain About This! ;-)

Agent Chris has added a secret video clip, it's shows what happens after Varinder calls in.

Now you can find out



Don't Tell!

"You're Fired!"

Two correspondents have been sacked today because no one called in to do their correspondent update.

The correspondent update at 5:38 is when people report about their subject & that's a correspondent. They must call often about the stuff, if they don't update much, they will more likely get the sack.

The Two Correspondents are

• Chas ‘n’ Dave Correspondent - Sean Cooke
• Automatic Door Correspondent - Paul
• Joke Correspondent (Sacked even thought he's not a correspondent)

You've been warned!
