Tonight with Andrew Marr set to launch on LBC

After the high-profile signing of Andrew Marr to LBC last year, it’s been revealed that his new show – Tonight with Andrew Marr – will launch on Monday 7 March at 6pm, as part of the station’s Spring schedule.

Tonight with Andrew Marr, will air Monday to Thursday, 6pm to 7pm, on LBC and will also be televised live, exclusively on Global Player.

The new show will include Marr’s trademark analysis, opinion, high profile guests and big name national and international figures to dissect issues of the day.

In LBC’s Spring schedule, Eddie Mair returns to his original time slot of 4pm to 6pm.

Talking about his new show, Andrew Marr said: “I’ve always thought journalism is about breaking stories, ruffling feathers and having some fun on the way.

“My new LBC show, Tonight with Andrew Marr is perfectly timed at 6pm, the end of busy political days, and stuffed with great guests, and will do just that.  Anyone wanting bland, safe, wearily predictable journalism is strongly advised to look elsewhere.”

Tom Cheal, Managing Editor of LBC, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Andrew to our brilliant line-up of presenters. Now with the freedom to share his views and broadcast in his own voice, Tonight with Andrew Marr will be packed with sharp opinion, insightful commentary and agenda-setting interviews, all delivered in Andrew’s fast-paced, vivid style. At a time when LBC is celebrating record audiences, it promises to become another unmissable moment in our schedule.”
