Radio - February 2000 Edition LBC 1152AM LBC 1152AM is based out of the UK, so for the most part you'll be listening to local news and weather as well as a national perspective of things. Their simple site offers up all the station information you need including on-air personality info, program scheduling, and one of the nicer touches, a collection of audio clips covering the week's top news so you can hear any important news you've missed. Of course they will be covering their local goings on rather than the U.S., so if you're fascinated with the UK this is as good a stream as any to keep up with any developments in that part of the world.
Programming ranges from financial news shows to interviews with the world's newsmakers.
The sound quality is surprisingly good considering the distance it has to travel to reach us. We were expecting a degraded stream but ended up with a clear sound. It's on par with AM radio but there's a small amount of echo distortion, which increasingly appears to be the norm on most every stream. LBC 1152AM isn't your usual news station but it does offer comprehensive coverage of events in the U.K. and a well-rounded view of the world. A great station overall, with great sound quality and a good deal of content but admittedly as Yanks, we couldn't get enough of those wonderful British accents.
