LIVERPOOL
Earlier this month, we posted on here about the series of programmes coming out of Liverpool next month - well, now there's more.
The world famous Grand National is celebrating its 163rd year this year and 5 live is going to be there at Aintree and also in Liverpool as we broadcast some of our programmes live from the city. We're bringing together all the elements of the 5 live mix including news, sport, debate and entertainment in front of live audiences at the Epstein Theatre (formerly The Neptune Theatre).
In addition to the shows that have already been announced, Eleanor Oldroyd will host a debate about the London 2012 Olympics with a panel of guests on Thursday 7 April. We'll be asking who are the top British medal hopes? How are preparations going? And what do the people of Liverpool think about London 2012?
Guests include Michael Rimmer, one of Britain's medal hopes on the track in London - he won the silver medal in the 800 metres at last year's European Championships. And former high jumper and British team captain Steve Smith is also on the panel for 5 live sport's London Calling - On the Road special.

Why do you have to send all your presenters to LIverpool to do all this rubbish. Just give Inverdale and Balding a microphone at about 1 O'clock and do what you do best.
I already fear for the Olympics coverage. Give Logan, Bacon, Campbell, Murray etc two weeks off and leave it to the real experts and it might just be decent.
I am not from London and I love Liverpool as a city, but I really couldn't care less what the people of Liverpool think about the Olympics.
