Drivetime host Eddie Mair will retire from LBC in August 2022, nearly four years after arriving at the radio station from the BBC.
Mair said: “My only regret about LBC is not joining sooner. I’m having a ball and all things being equal would probably carry on forever… But the one thing I don’t have on my side is time.
“Like many others, during Covid I had a rethink about life and in the summer of 2020 told my bosses and close friends and colleagues about my plans to leave. I’ve been at this for 40 years and I want to have a little time for me before I croak.”
Mair’s original time slot upon joining LBC was 4pm to 6pm but this was later expanded to a three-hour programme. The 6pm to 7pm hour was recently given to Andrew Marr when he joined from the BBC.
