LBC 97.3 Radio Show

Iain Lee is a presenter on London radio station LBC 97.3 FM. His radio career started when he would phone Clive Bull, who ironically, he would years later be working alongside. Lee's first LBC appearance was when he 'filled in' for Clive Bull for two weeks in the later months of 2004. When he joined officially in January 2005, Lee hosted the 10pm-1am night slot over the weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The latter months of 2005 saw his position moving to the afternoon slot, where he aired from between 4 and 7pm, in a show called "The 3 Hour 4 'Till 7 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show."

In early 2006, the show's times changed between 3 and 6:30pm and was known as "The 3 and a Half Hour 3 'Till 6:30 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show". The last week of this show featured a number of special guests (including Frank Sidebottom), and the last show, on Friday 22nd December, included a number regular callers to the show.

Since January 2007, Lee is now on air at the new time of 7 til 10pm, preceding Clive Bull in his new show titled "Iain Lee's Good Evening". Iain chose the name after asking listeners for their suggestions for a title on his 19th December 2006 afternoon show. His old slot is being filled by current weekend breakfast show host Paul Ross.

Since May 2006, Lee has also hosted the three hour 10pm - 1am slot on Sundays. Like the first half hour of his new evening show, this is occupied by Triple M, where calls go straight to air. Triple M in full is Mick's Mental Mayhem, named after a caller called Mick.

Lee's show is one of the list of LBC programmes which are available as a podcast through a monthly subscription service.

Other work

Lee has appeared on The Eleven O'Clock Show referring to himself as 'TV's Iain Lee', video game review show Thumb Bandits and the ill-fated Channel 4 breakfast show RI:SE. He also presented the documentary Thumb Candy and appears regularly on Channel 4's "Top 100" series of programmes. He is currently presenting Celebrity Soup for E! taking a look at the week's celebrity news..

After winning a comedic celebrity edition of Britain's "The Weakest Link", he also won a "celebrity" edition of the British television quiz Mastermind, broadcast on 29 December 2006, in which his specialist subject was The Monkees.

Other radio work includes appearing on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends, and previously presenting on Xfm London between 1999-2001. Lee also presented Channel 4 radio's UK Lost podcast, where he summarised each episode of series two after it is broadcast in the UK. Since Sky have now acquired rights to air Lost Seasons 3 and 4, Lee has been signed to return in Sky's very own podcast, entitled The Lost Initiative, which began airing alongside the Season premiere in the UK on November 19th [1].
