Ah, forgive me, I had London Talkback Radio (the LBC AM station) and London Newstalk (the London News Radio station) mixed up. Bit of a confusing few years on those frequencies...
Yes it must win the award for most names for essentially the same station. FM went:
LBC, Crown FM, LBC Newstalk, London News 97.3, News 97.3, News Direct 97.3, ITN News Direct, LBC 97.3 and now just LBC
MW had fewer: LBC, London Talkback Radio, London Newstalk 1152, Newstalk 1152, LBC 1152, LBC News 1152
I know far too much about LBC....
Didn't LBC even have sung jingles at one point in the even-later 1990s, or is my mind really playing tricks on me?
No, they use a remixed Jeff Wayne theme from 96-02 which a male voiceover. The same guy who did them for the GWR stations in the 90s.
LBC News 1152 rebranded as LBC London News in 2017.
