About LBC News
LBC News is a 24-hour rolling news radio station owned by Global, broadcasting across the UK on DAB digital radio and streaming free online through Global Player. It is the sister station to LBC, the talk and opinion station, but where LBC mixes news with debate and phone-ins, LBC News stays purely on the news cycle, no interruptions.
Until October 2024 it also had an analogue home, 1152 AM in Greater London. That frequency is now gone, so if you used to tune in that way, DAB or the online stream is where it lives now. The stream runs in AAC at 48 kbps, which is functional rather than hi-fi, but for spoken word news it does the job fine.
You can listen through the Global Player website or app without paying anything. It is a straightforward news station: headlines, updates, and live coverage rolling through the day and night. No music, no personality-led shows in the LBC mould, just the news.
