Triple M Special Tonight!

Triple M will have no Iain Lee, tonight's show will just have callers, tasters were on the last few Triple M shows where Iain didn't talk and callers do the talking & this will happen for the whole three hours, because of legal reqiurements Agent Chris will be there to dump any bad things. The show has caught the eye of talk radio. This experment will more likely not happen again but you never know.

Sunday Times' Paul Donovan comment that it's "bizarre", even slate the afternoon show & saying that we need more good phone-ins.

We won't be updating till after the World Cup

Iain Lee News isn't updating because of the World Cup. As I'm a big Iain Lee fan but I like football. So I have to watch the World Cup, It only comes in four years. Even if England gets knock-out in the World Cup, I'll will be watching till the final. So we won't be back until July 10.

Iain's "Proper Show" on Tommorow

Tommorow will be a change to the normal madness on the Iain Lee. Tuesday's show is set out to be like a normal Drivetime show.

Iain's show will include a female Barbershop Quartet, Tech Expert, Weather by Heather Jingles every half-hour & discussing the issues of the day.

The show could be tranished by Iain's mad callers.

If you don't like the Iain Lee Show, listen on Tuesday because it's very different to the normal madness.

Great Week for LBC

This week has been great for London's LBC because of today's Rajar figures. Now 3.2% of market share of listeners, up by 0.7%, today's figures mean that creep up on their high of 3.7% since 1999. Since Chrysalis take over from ITN, LBC's average figure is 2.58%.

Here's a roundup of 2006 Q1 Figures

Hours: 6,886,000
Reach: 671,000 People per Week (6% of people in London)
Market Share: 3.2%

As well as Today's Rajar Figures, LBC also picked up 2 Sony GOLD Awards. One Breakfast Show Award & The Live Event Coverage Award.

Nick was a bit emoticon went he recieved his award, This is what they said about the Breakfast Show.

Warm, funny and brilliantly informed with an outstanding ability to communicate
and interact with his audience. An opinionated storyteller with a journalist’s
ear. Compelling radio that strikes exactly the right balance. When he speaks the radio hums.

This what they also commented by The Boat Race Coverage on LBC

The judges all thought that this informative, atmospheric coverage bought the
whole day to life. A London event that encompasses sport, history, and
socialising was not only covered and explained in detail but made great fun to
listen to.

The person most pleased was the managing director of LBC, David Lloyd.

To win one Sony Gold is a dream, to win two is beyond comprehension. We
were thrilled that LBC's boat race coverage, an unusual programme for commercial
radio, won the day. And delighted that 'Nick Ferrari at Breakfast' won the title
it so richly deserved, beating the BBC's Today programme and proving that you
can make great talk entertaining. Our results are both a triumph for LBC and
commercial radio.

The Icing on The Cake was the high increase in Listenership.

Ferris has won Presenter of The Year

After The Recount, Iain Lee lost his Presenter of The Year title & Nick Ferris has won it.

MMM Success or Failure

MMM (Mick's Mental Mayhem), as you all know, was on last night. But, it was not the resounding success that it could have been. Everyone was congratulating Iain on his new slot, and the rest were pretty much rubbish, for instance calling poo, poo, wee, wee down the phone,

It will be on next week, and it will hopefully end up being more random.

James Max's New Slot?

James Max, Semi-Finalist on the first series of the apprentice could have got a new slot according to LBC's Presenter List. He might have replaced Elliot Moss on the 7pm Sundays slot. The program will be the same but with a new presenter.
