Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel became the latest high-profile presenters to join the commercial radio giant
Fifteen years ago a then 30-year-old Ashley Tabor-King sparked a British radio revolution striking the first of a series of deals totalling more than £600m that would ultimately create Europe’s biggest commercially funded group, owner of stations from Capital and Heart to LBC and Classic FM.
Earlier this week, Tabor-King’s Global once again flexed its financial muscle by signing deals with BBC stars Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, who will join former colleague Andrew Marr at LBC, reportedly doubling their salaries in the process.
