Times Radio has launched this morning with an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The station is a partnership between The Times, Sunday Times and News UK’s radio division Wireless, and promises to be an alternative to Radio 4 and LBC.
Several current and former broadcasters from Salford-based BBC Radio 5 live have joined the station, and one of them, Aasmah Mir, presented the first programme this morning alongside Sig Abell.
The Breakfast duo welcomed the Prime Minister for his “first sit-down broadcast interview since the start of the coronavirus lockdown”.In the interview, Johnson said that the coronavirus crisis had been a “disaster” and an “absolute nightmare” for the country and that he wanted to set out a plan to “bounce forward” following the pandemic.
