Vanessa Feltz switches Talk TV for LBC

Vanessa tells listeners ‘Brace yourselves!’ …

Vanessa has been a household name across the UK since her self-titled show launched on ITV in the 1990s. In more recent years she’s been a regular voice on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio London while for the past two years she was one of the star names on Talk Radio and Talk TV.

“After a long and passionate courtship, I’ve finally succumbed to the allure of LBC. Actually, I was powerless to resist. Global’s dynamism is mesmerising and it is THE high-octane station from which to broadcast, in this riveting election year. I can’t wait to join the Global family and get cracking. Brace yourself for May 4^th – May the fourth be with you!”– Vanessa Feltz

However, as Talk TV goes digital only (again), and a series of cost-cutting measures are implemented, Feltz has taken up a new position with 50-year-old LBC. Vanessa Feltz’s new show launches Saturday 4th May at 3pm on LBC and Global Player as part of a refreshed weekend schedule.

LBC today (Wednesday 1st May) confirmed the journalist and presenter is joining the station to host a new Saturday programme. Vanessa is joining the UK’s number one commercial news talk brand with a three-hour programme offering opinion, analysis and a deep dive on what matters to the British public. Vanessa also continues her regular role as a contributor to ITV1’s This Morning.

“Vanessa is a leading light in broadcasting who is outspoken, incisive and understands what matters to LBC listeners. We’re delighted to have her on board.” – Tom Cheal, LBC’s Senior Managing Editor
