throwing is weight around as well:

Press Gazette reports

SACKED
Chris Mann (Editor, News Direct)
Charles Golding, LBC presenter
James Williams, LBC presenter
Fred Housego, LBC presenter

RESIGNED
Sir Nicholas Lloyd (half of the Anne and Nick breakfast duo) - but will
probably do Sunday 11am slot

HIRED?
Tommy Boyd (to replace Lloyd)

Charles Golding sacked ? When did that happen ? I heard him today and he
didn`t say a thing about it. He`s a good presenter, I hope he stays.

If it is the same, we could be seeing some old faces back on air......

It's a rare event that they ever say anything about it... look at TR,
Nancy is the only one so far to have said *goodbye*.

Hah! You beat me to it... he could put himself on air, so far as I'm
concerned, I only heard him once, but he was better than half his
presenters! :) It's such a shame that LBC isn't a national station...
and that my reception of it is so bad down here.
