Timeline

1960

Nick Abbot (born 22 August 1960) is an English radio presenter and currently presents The Late Show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on LBC.

Abbot was born on 22 August 1960, and was educated at George Heriot's School, a private school for boys in Edinburgh, and at Brunel University in Uxbridge in West London, where he gained a lower-second class degree in psychology.

His professional career began as a Virgin Megastore DJ.

He had previously presented student radio at Brunel University's radio station, Radio Brunel.

1987

In early 1987, he joined Radio Luxembourg to present an overnight music show.

After hearing American talk show presenter Neil Rogers, Abbot was inspired and the show instead became a phone in.

Eventually, a 'straight to air' format was settled upon, where calls would be taken unscreened.

This format quickly became a hit with listeners.

The absence of a delay system to 'dump' offensive language resulted in callers saying swear words just before they were cut off.

It is believed that Abbot was one of the first (if not the first) to take calls straight to air, and later LBC colleague Iain Lee has often confessed that he stole some of his act from Nick (as well as Clive Bull and Tommy Boyd), perhaps hinting he got the inspiration for his "Triple M" show from Nick Abbot in addition to Boyd's "Human Zoo" show.

1988

In October 1988, Abbot launched the new BBC radio station for London, BBC GLR (Greater London Radio).

He presented the breakfast show for a year, but his contract was not renewed.

1993

He then returned to VMR, where he stayed until 1993.

Abbot was part of the original line-up on Virgin Radio in April 1993.

There he presented the weekday late night phone-in show Sunday–Thursday from 10pm to 2am.

The programme was a mixture of music and phone-in.

Not afraid to speak his mind, he often voiced his opinions about other stations and presenters, and it was this that eventually led him into trouble.

Following a negative newspaper review by writer Robin Katz, Abbot's outbursts on-air eventually led to a censure from the Broadcasting Complaints Commission and the Radio Authority.

He also called phone-in shows on other radio stations, speaking to the phone operators, commenting on the usually elderly callers while listening to the programmes as he was on hold.

Usually, he failed to make it on air, but occasionally he did, including a memorable call to the Scottie McClue show.

1994

In June 1994 he was moved to the weekday 7 – 10pm show where he had to tone down his act, mainly taking music requests.

1995

In January 1995, he moved back to the weekday late night show (this time from 11pm to 2am) where he remained until April that year when he was moved to the drivetime show (4 – 7pm) until he was axed from the station in September that year.

1996

In the summer of 1996, Abbot was heard on Talk Radio UK acting as holiday cover.

1997

He was subsequently offered a regular show during the summer of 1997 on Saturday afternoons, alongside Carol McGiffin, later moving to Saturday evenings from 7:30pm to 10 pm.

It was during this period that Virgin Radio's new management re-hired Abbot to cover various shows on the station.

He took over the evening show for six weeks during the summer of 1997, as well as providing holiday cover.

1998

In early 1998, he took over the weekday afternoon show on Virgin Radio from 1pm to 4 pm, while continuing with his Saturday evening show on Talk Radio.

In May 1998 (while still presenting his daily show on Virgin Radio) he took over the weekday evening show on Talk Radio UK from 7pm to 9 pm.

Thursday 12 November 1998 was known as Black Thursday.

Talk Radio UK had been taken over by new management, headed by former The Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie, and many presenters and staff were fired; Abbot was one of the many casualties, and he was sacked on the same day as the station's afternoon presenter Tommy Boyd.

He continued with his weekday show on Virgin Radio, which was now extended to six days a week from 1pm to 4 pm Sundays – Fridays.

1999

Between March and September 1999, long-established London station LBC hired Abbot & McGiffin for a Saturday evening phone-in, similar in format to the duo's earlier Talk Radio show.

During this time, he continued working for Virgin Radio as a DJ.

2000

Throughout the summer of 2000, he presented a Sunday morning phone-in show on Virgin, also hosting the weekday afternoon show.

2001

Later that year he moved to the drivetime slot, until leaving Virgin once again, in May 2001.

He also provided holiday cover for Chris Evans.

In late 2001, Abbot joined Real Radio (Wales) to host its late-night phone-in show for a week as holiday cover for regular presenter Adrian Allen.

October 2001 saw the beginning of a five-day stint at Manchester's Key 103, during which he presented the 10pm – 2am programme.

2002

In January 2002, he moved to Real Radio (Scotland) where he again presented the late night phone-in.

Later in 2002, his show was networked across all three Real Radio stations (Scotland, Wales & Yorkshire).
