Steven Allen (born 17 March 1954) is an English television and radio presenter. As of 2012[update], he presents the early morning breakfast show on London-based talk station LBC 97.3.
Allen first worked as a nightclub disc jockey where he met Dale Winton and subsequently joined the United Biscuits Network, a radio station broadcasting to workers in the United Biscuits factories. His voice was heard in Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester and London.
UBN closed in 1979 (following the lorry drivers' strike during the Winter of Discontent) and he joined LBC as presenter of the Night Extra programme. The Night is Young was the next series of programmes he presented and when LBC was separated into 1152 AM and 97.3 FM, Allen presented the afternoon show of 'London Talkback Radio' (latterly LBC News 1152) and Saturday Night Out. He has also worked for Blue Danube Radio in Vienna, a station sponsored by the United Nations. He was also the host of Crinkley Bottom radio on Noel's House Party.
His current radio programmes are the early breakfast show between 4am and 7am Monday to Friday and between 5am and 7am on Sunday. In Conversation, his second show for LBC, is broadcast on Saturday at 6 am and Sunday at 9 pm and features interviews with guests from the world of entertainment. Highlights include Julie Andrews, Lenny Henry, Victoria Wood, Michael Flatley, Andy Nyman, Paul Daniels, Dale Winton and Paul Zerdin.
