Carol Vorderman to launch new Sunday show on LCB

Today, LBC announced that Carol Vorderman is set to become the face of a new Sunday program starting on the station this weekend.

Recognised as one of the nation’s most beloved presenters, Carol is joining the UK’s leading commercial news talk brand, LBC, renowned for its diverse lineup embracing both left and right-leaning perspectives. Her upcoming Sunday afternoon show, running from 4 pm to 7 pm, promises a blend of insightful opinions and intelligent discussions, tackling prominent stories and issues resonating with LBC’s audience across the UK.

Having garnered a significant response from listeners during her recent guest appearances on LBC, Carol joins a formidable roster of broadcasting talent, including figures like Nick Ferrari, celebrating 20 years hosting LBC’s Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, James O’Brien, Shelagh Fogarty, Andrew Marr, Tom Swarbrick, Iain Dale, and Matt Frei.

Tom Cheal, LBC’s Managing Editor, emphasized the importance of candid and intelligent debate in today’s climate, praising LBC’s callers for providing a unique perspective on the nation’s sentiments. He expressed delight in having Carol on board to engage in weekly discussions on major issues. Carol’s forthright and insightful opinions are seen as a seamless addition to the UK’s premier team of speech broadcasters, ensuring LBC’s continued leadership as the home of the UK’s finest opinion-led broadcasting.

Carol said: “I’m delighted to be joining LBC and the phenomenal stable of powerful voices on the station. More than ever, live radio is an incredibly important platform for news, so I’m looking forward to returning to a medium that I love. And what a year 2024 is going to be for news and politics! On Sunday afternoon, I’ll be using my voice – as you might expect – to cause a commotion.

I won’t be shy to say things that others won’t and I’ll hold the corrupt to account without fear or favour. And obviously I can’t wait to hear from the listeners – all of it, without apology or embarrassment; their worries, their joys, their ideas. To quote Bob Dylan: ‘the times they are a-changin’ and I can’t wait to get started – bring it on!”

Listeners can tune in live every Sunday from 4 pm, and for added convenience, access Carol’s show, along with all of LBC’s programs, on demand at any time via Global Player, the official LBC app. LBC’s extensive reach includes availability across the UK on Global Player, DAB digital radio and TV, LBC.co.uk, and in London on 97.3 FM.
