Put YOUR question to the London mayoral candidates…
LBC 97.3 HOSTS FIRST LIVE RADIO HEAD-TO-HEAD MAYORAL DEBATE
Thursday 10th April, 8.00am - 97.3 FM and DAB digital radio
Your Question Counts. With a month to go before the UK’s most
important mayoral elections, London talk radio station LBC 97.3 wants
YOUR question for the three main mayoral candidates, as it hosts the
first live radio mayoral debate on Thursday 10th April.
Hosted by breakfast presenter Nick Ferrari, the LBC 97.3 Mayoral Debate
will bring Ken Livingstone, Boris Johnson, Brian Paddick head-to-head
for the first time on live radio. And LBC 97.3 wants to hear from you.
What question would you like to ask Ken, Boris and Brian? What issue,
where you live, would you like them to tackle? What concerns you about
London? This is YOUR chance to ask YOUR question to the candidates and
you can be as tough as you want!
The debate will be broadcast live from 8.00am to 9.00am across Greater
London on 97.3 FM, on DAB digital radio and online at www.lbc.co.uk.
From 9.00am to 10.00am, there will be reaction and feedback from LBC
97.3’s listener panel and audience, as well as news and political
commentators. The debate will also be simulcast on LBC 97.3’s sister
station and London’s dedicated 24-hour rolling news station, LBC News
1152 AM.
Nick has been leading LBC 97.3’s coverage of the mayoral elections
and April’s highly-charged debate promises to be one of the most
provocative hours on radio, ahead of the London elections on Thursday
1st May.
No-one is more experienced and better placed to take on the three main
candidates than Nick Ferrari. Two years ago, he was Ladbrokes’
favourite to be the next Mayor of London and he was David Cameron’s
first choice to be the Conservative mayoral candidate. It will be an
unmissable event, especially as Ken is the Mayor who tried to get Nick
sacked - after he gave out Ken's phone number on-air - and Boris took
the role that Nick rejected.
In addition, Nick has just launched the revised edition of his book,
The World - and London - according to Nick Ferrari, in which he reveals
his own 'Mayoral Manifesto'. He’s also about to start a brand new
London theatre tour, Nick Ferrari - A Comeback (Part 1), starting at the
Fairfield Halls in Croydon on Friday 11th April, in which he’ll reveal
what he can’t tell you on the radio.
Talking about the LBC 97.3 Mayoral Debate, Nick Ferrari said:
“This is the moment for the politicians to hear from the people that
matter the most - you the voters. And you can get as tough as you
like.”
