David Jessel was LBC's original breakfast presenter; he opened the station just before 6a.m. on Monday 8 October 1973. The original station had several presenters who became household names in the British media. These include Adrian Love, Jon Snow, Peter Allen, Rosie Boycott, and Bel Mooney. For 10 years from 1975 the breakfast show AM was presented by Bob Holness and Douglas Cameron. LBC's late-evening interview and phone-in programme between 9p.m. (later 10p.m.) and 1a.m. was called "Nightline "and at various times was hosted by Adrian Love, Robin Houston, Monty Modlyn, Jeremy Beadle and Tommy Boyd. There was also a character called 'Mr Nasty' (played by John Forest), who argued over the telephone with children. Beadle and Forrest went on to star in the Granada Television series "Fun Factory".
