This was the first time I have looked at Twitter since the rebranding. I thought I was connected to an ITV Channel !!

X to me signifies they can't think of a name - surely somebody must be able to think up something - Radio X (noisy rubbish music!) ITVX (programmes you had forgotten and wished they had stayed forgotten!) Twitter 'X ' - (Mr Musk has run out of ideas!. Mr X (somebody famous who has done something wrong and doesn't want everyone knowing about it!).

Has twitter now got the X factor though? Will Musk now be known forevermore as Elon X ?Sounds a bit like a haemorrhoid cream?

Change is necessary but not simply for the sake of it. What had Musk against the little blue bird? The stylised X looks vaguely sinister. My current beef is the changes to University Challenge. It now has a set that looks like a Saturday night game-show and a monosyllabic host who never raises his eyes from the screen on which the Qs and As are written.

Sorry - off topic.

Speaking of weasels I heard a rumour that if (when) Labour win the next election Michael Gove is going to leave the Tory Party and Join Labour as a key 'advisor'!? o_O

Good to see that Nick Ferrari still gets the big interviews. With Steve Allen no longer at LBC it needs even more drive from Nick.

I think Nick is the most important on-air personality at LBC and arguably the best broadcaster they have in general. Would that be a fair statement? That said, he probably doesn't appeal to anyone under about 35, which might be a bit of a problem.

No he won't but at the moment he's got the most visible presence of any of the old skool LBC presenters. He regularly pops up on TV and has a newspaper column. It's his radio interviews that appear on the main stream news outlets. James O'Brien just makes a lot of noise and writes self indulgent books.

I don't see it as a problem for LBC tbh. I can't see him hanging around for many more years. I see him as the type to retire to his place in the South of France and just do his column. He'll give up the early mornings at some time.
