    In summer 1996, the station reverted to a rolling news format, initially with no name (the station was branded as 97.3FM). In the autumn, following a move to ITN's headquarters, the station was relaunched as News Direct 97.3FM and Chris Mann was appointed editor.

    Throughout 2014 and 2015, O'Brien gave much air time and promotion to false claims of VIP sex abuse by the now discredited Exaro News website, which were based on testimony from Carl Beech, later sentenced to prison for perverting the course of justice and child sex offences, something O'Brien later expressed regret for on Twitter. In August 2024, O'Brien apologised for praising a social media video that attributed some of the violence during the 2024 United Kingdom riots to "Zionist backers" during an LBC broadcast.
