The Dean of London talk show hosts in his third decade on the air, Jim Chapman’s reputation for being a tell-it-like-it-is straight shooter helped him build the area’s largest talk audience before he retired to run for political office in April of 2007.

“I thought fifteen years on the air was long enough”, Chapman said, “but after the election I realized how much I missed making daily contact with listeners.” “I’m very pleased AM980 values what I do and has asked me to join them, and I’m proud to be a member of their top-notch news team. Together, we’ll provide the kind of up-to-the-minute headlines and in-depth analysis that isn’t available anywhere else in London.”

The launch of The Jim Chapman NewsHour gives listeners access to a unique, and compelling program – unlike anything else in the London market today. As usual, Jim Chapman has the last word. “If listeners will give me just one hour, I guarantee I’ll give them a whole day’s food for thought.”
