He used to do sports reports on Sky Sports a few years back, not sure if he did them for LBC.
He's been all over the place. I think he was with ITV before he came to LBC. He also did a stint with the BBC.
LBC used to have a programme called scores on a Saturday afternoon. It followed the football scores and there were updates rather than outright commentary. Ian used to present it and it was some time ago as then most of the matches were at 3pm on a Saturday.
I forget now if it was LBC or LBC News that had it.
Ahh, I like Ian Pyane, he is just honest about his life and what has being going on and engaging with callers
Have I got news for you !
BBC insiders have insisted that Clive Myrie’s absence from presenting News at Ten last Friday was “simply about the scheduling and the optics”.
According to The Times, Myrie was stood down from the slot immediately after his hosting of Have I Got News for You over fears of an anti-Tory bias. He was replaced by Jane Hill after chief content officer Charlotte Moore raised concerns over impartiality.
The BBC confirmed there was a shift swap between Myrie and Hill but declined to comment on who was responsible for the decision.
Myrie made several scripted jokes about the Tory party during his fourth hosting of the 9pm satirical panel show.
In one such joke Myrie said: “After being found by the House of Commons committee to have lied repeatedly, Boris Johnson takes the opportunity to deny that he’s ever been jogging or has a dog”, as film was shown of Johnson running with his dog.
An insider told The Times the decision was made over concerns about Myrie doing two “very different types of programme” back-to-back, adding that “there was possibly a bit of over-caution, which felt a bit over the top to most people in news.”
“It was a tonal thing rather than due to anyone being overly anxious,” added an unnamed BBC executive.
Today, a BBC source said: “The decision was simply about the scheduling and the optics of having the same presenter on the news straight after a satirical show.”
The move has led to a flurry of commentary on social media site Twitter.
LBC presenter James O’Brien tweeted: “The decision to pull Clive Myrie from News At Ten because he’d been hilarious on Have I Got News For You earlier the same evening is important.
“It shows how successfully vicious right-wing papers have cowed BBC executives in to making decisions based on fear of being attacked.”
I really don't know what J O'B is going on about. It would be strange having just been on a satrical show, joking with others, and then reading the serious
10pm news. So I agree separating the two is quite sensible.

Oh I think that's a given. BBC is just another thing James hates. He's writing a book about it you know, "All the things I hate" ... it'll never get finished.
James has hated the BBC ever since he got the boot from Newsnight.
Sorry ... can you explain it to the hard of thinking over here ... what do you mean?
Was just going to post the same.
Ferrari is in one of his weird moods this morning, mumbling, telling crap anecdotes & having a boner over Elton John/Reg Dwight
Ah, got it. He's just mentioned it in his trailer! Why didn't it occur to me that it's Brexit related?Was just going to post the same.
And, extra joy, he's got Mayor Khan't on.Click Off.Ah, got it. He's just mentioned it in his trailer! Why didn't it occur to me that it's Brexit related?
Click on. Aaah ... mocking people who weren't afforded the same level of education as James. How nice. Click off.
Nice to know that the family who skipped paying for lunch at the pub, finally paid, but only after their pics were plastered all over the internet. There is a God
7 years since Brexit?
The last couple of days have proved to me that the most boring topic for discussion is mortgages. The more I've heard over the years the more grateful I am that we never attempted to burden ourselves with one.
