Ian Payne said he was taking over from Tom from next week.

I'm not sure if that's for a few weeks until September or for good? Id assume they'd want someone more serious for that slot.

Ian Payne is ok for a fill in slot at 10pm, but hopefully not permanently. Hoping Ben Kentish get the 10pm from Sept.

Doesn't take much for me to get excited !!!!

Radio (and tv) is far more interesting when something goes wrong, and how they are prepared to deal with it ! The producer should have realised something was wrong, and rushed into the newsroom. Grabbed the scripts and continued as if nothng was wrong !!!!!

I like Ian Payne but I was surprised he was given the 10pm -1pm slot permanently too. It's quite a prestigious slot really. I thought it was going to be Ben Kentish.

I didn’t realise that Ian was confirmed as the new 10pm presenter, I presumed he was covering until early Sept when the permanent replacement (hopefully Ben K) starts.
 
Ian Payne just said he is doing this slot 10pm to 1am, for the next few weeks or months and he didn't really know how long it would be for. 🤔

It feels like he got it by default. Going from crisis to crisis must make it hard to decide on the direction of stations like LBC .

Who will cover for Steve Allen the next time he slips on a sandwich toaster on his bathroom floor or the next time he gets an infection from one of those tiny prison phones?
 
Has Steve said why he's not in on Friday? He usually talks about hospital appointments, but I don't think he's said anything this week. Richard Spurr's pencilled in to do Friday as well as 4-7am at weekend. I wonder if they've split that slot into 3 days/4 days. I can't imagine Steve being happy about that.

At least with all the chopping and changing Global haven't given ghastly Matthew Wright a permanent job.

Why don't you like Matthew Wright? I don't think he's the worst. Although, I don't 'get' this pony-tail thing, that's creepy as hell.

He had a show on LBC many years ago. He was shouty and cut off anybody who didn't agree with him. I gave him a listen when he turned up recently but he doesn't seem to have changed.
 
Matthew Wright is ok. I actually think he would have been better off still having his show than Jeremy Vine. He's a bit too lefty, but I don't really care so much about that as if I don't like the presenters I won't listen. I am quite open minded in that sense, I'll listen to lefties and righties, as long as it's not extreme.

He said this morning it's something to do with driving but then went off on a tangent about a train strike, sounded like he has to do one of those awareness courses to me.
