By Sally Griffith

Daily Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire is to host a one-off programme on London news and talk radio station LBC this weekend.

LBC has announced that Maguire will cover Andrew Pierce’s Sunday lunchtime current affairs and political show between 11am and 2pm.

Maguire, who has appeared as a guest on the station’s programmes before, said in a statement: “If Frank Lampard would like to call LBC 97.3 again, I’d be delighted to put him on.”

Figures released today by Rajar give LBC its highest audience since the current methodology began 10 years ago.

The station recorded an average of 705,000 listeners a week in the first three months of 2009, up 75,000 or 11.9 per cent on the previous quarter.
