===Radio=== {{main|BBC Radio London}} '''BBC Radio London''' combines speech and music based programmes 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Broadcasting across London on 94.9 [[FM broadcasting|FM]], [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|DAB]], [[Virgin Media]] Channel 930, [[Sky (UK & Ireland)|Sky]] Channel 0152 (in London area only), Freeview Channel 721 and also online. The station was previously known as ''BBC London Live'', ''GLR'' (Greater London Radio) and ''BBC London 94.9''. The current Breakfast show presenters are [[Penny Smith]] and [[Paul Ross]] and the mid morning phone-in show is presented by [[Vanessa Feltz]]. The Breakfast and Drivetime shows feature a wealth of local London news and comment with roving reporters out and about. Other programmes such as [[JoAnne Good]] or [[Robert Elms]] include varied speech and music with local news bulletins every half-hour. News bulletins on BBC Radio London at the top of the hour are traditionally longer than other BBC radio services at 5 minutes to fit in international, national and local stories with local sport and weather. In addition to the News service, a dedicated travel news service is operated by BBC London on TV, Radio and Online using information supplied by [[Transport for London]], [[National Rail]] and [[National Highways]]. The travel news on BBC Radio London is updated at 31 and 58 minutes past each hour during off peak times, and every 15 minutes, starting at the top of the hour, during evening and morning peaks. It is one of the few radio stations to have access to TfL traffic cameras. Sport is a major part of the radio schedule, with a three-hour sports based programme each weeknight evening and four-hour sport specials on Saturdays and Sundays. This is more than most other BBC local radio stations and reflects London's large number of sporting teams and events.
