Marcus Churchill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcus Churchill presented, until recently, the Sunday to Wednesday late night/early morning show on London's LBC 97.3 ('Real Life, Real London'). He is known for his forthright views on current affairs although from time to time relaxes the rules and people can call in for any reason they see fit - from the environment to LOST and from plight of Muslims in modern Britain to fashion.

Marcus was off air from March to June 2006 due to illness. A serious gallstone problem meant that he had to have his gallbladder removed. Despite his strong belief in the NHS, he opted to go private to overcome a long waiting list. During his four and a half month absence his shows were filled by Peter Deeley, Bill Buckley, Adrian Allen and Alex Thomas. He returned to the station on 5th July.

Upon his return, he dismissed rumours spread on the internet which claimed his absence was to have a kidney transplant. He personally attacked Wikipedia for giving a voice to these rumours, but later admitted that they were harmless.

After another break lasting from December 2006 until the end of August 2007, Marcus has since returned to LBC standing in for other presenters such as Bill Buckley, Clive Bull, Steve Allen and Anthony Davis.
