LBC 97.3 fm has secured veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost to anchor its election night coverage.
The programme will also be broadcast on sister station LBC News and across the USA on the National Public Radio network.
Frost,
who is retiring from the BBC’s Breakfast with Frost after the general
election, has never covered an election night on radio before despite
being in broadcasting for 40 years.
The BBC has yet to reveal who will take over from Frost on the Sunday morning current affairs show.

LBC managing director

reputation and profile who will lend enormous credibility to our
general election coverage.”
