NOT anymore

I don't get why he felt the need to bring her appearance into it.

But still one offense and his sacked, wouldn't a suspension have been the more reasonable outcome?

Zizu · 06-03-2023, 05:45 AM

Intriguing..

:::::

A petition calling for LBC to “bring Steve Allen back” has already attracted more than 2,000 signatures.

The petition claims that Allen was removed “in the name of political correctness” after misgendering the singer Sam Smith, who is non-binary, meaning Smith prefers to be referred to as they or them.

During his final show on 17 February, Allen “couldn’t give a rat’s tail” about Smith’s gender identity, repeatedly referring to the singer as he.

He added: “ No we’re not changing things just to please you ! I think not ! “

I’m not convinced that the ‘tubby’ comment got him sacked to be honest … judging by the above mentioned petition

It’s unlikely that comment got him sacked, but 44 years of service should mean something ..

He could have said Sorry

What Petition?
Its not up to the Public.

Since you like him
Post his own words (when he leaks them)
on why they
had to get rid of him

I have put him on
and he is Attacking everyone

To me, I would need a Lawyer
Sitting near him.

I think the Bosses at LBC
& Global Media & Entertainment Limited
got very fed up with him.

[Allen does not take listeners' calls during
his programmes,
although he does read out texts
and tweets.
His early breakfast shows involve
discussion of stories from the day's newspapers,
Allen's personal anecdotes,
his gripes about daily life,

comments about celebrities]

860 complaints is impressive given his time slot was 4am to 7am

Yes
getting the newspaper on 4 TV Channels
would expand those complaints

GoldHeart · 06-03-2023, 02:35 PM

You are joking??? ,Was he really sacked just for calling Tilly Ramsey a "Chubby little thing"

,her own dad has said far worse towards people !!! .

bitontheslide · 06-03-2023, 03:14 PM

Sounds to me like someone in management commented on his show and he had a hissy fit and flounced off into the sunset. He wasn't sacked

I think its a culmination of woke bollocks from his producers who are terrified of blame

I mean Steve is bang on right, if Sam Smith's pals want to indulge him and call him them fine but dont expect any other adult human to indulge his "look at me" shenanigans

The petition suggests that the issue was a comment directed towards Sam Smith

860 People complained about that comment?

I don't agree with his comment towards Tilly, but **** me do these people not have lives?

Yeah I used to listen to Steve for many years. But he got more annoying as he got older.

He was always bragging about how much money he has, how much he gets paid. The expensive car he owes, property, and expensive food he buys.

He was always bragging that he was going to win the Lottery. I cannot understand the greed of that man.

It could be he was told to leave by LBC, not for the comments he'd made, but because his show was something of the past. And it was the same thing, day in, and day out.

I think he also got fed up, like you say. He's 69 and wow, hasn't he got better things to do like travel, or just relaxing his gob.

I can't see any radio station having him. He's just so old fashioned now.

Yes Gusto,
Great post.

I did a thread on him in 2021
when he was off with Covid

My Post in 2021:

[He will not take calls.
And is very Grumpy and talks to himself
or his studio team.
That is Rude to the Listener]

I actually enjoy his ‘format’ as all the other shows have callers phoning in ..

I’m nearly his age so I agree with many of his sentiments plus he’s got a marvellous recall of the old days so that is particularly fascinating .

That said he does say a few weird things such as bragging how wealthy he is etc …

Overall I will miss his shows / podcasts
