Ken Bruce, 71 leaves dusty Radio2 for Greatest Hits Radio
 

The Pathetic BBC
does not mention he is moving to a better Radio station


[On leaving BBC Radio 2, Bruce said:
“Nothing stays the same forever,
and I have decided the time is right
for me to move on from Radio 2 when
I reach the end of my
current contract in March.]


[Bruce will now move to Bauer radio station
alongside a line-up which includes
presenters Simon Mayo at Drivetime
and Jackie Brambles in the early evening.

He said: “What better way to celebrate
my forty-five years in radio than with
a new adventure and a brand-new show
on Greatest Hits Radio. I say brand-new
but there will still be PopMaster,
me and my musings and all the
great records you know and love
from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

“I’m looking forward to getting started
and to you joining me for
my very first show. See you in April!”]

A face for Radio if there ever was one.

The rot set in when they shoehorned in Zoe Ball and Sarah Cox because they were women and not because they were the best for the job. They got rid of Paul O'grady and put in that berk with the big teeth Then Steve left and they put in Scot Mills and his botoxed face and now Ken is going.

I don't listed to R2 anymore in general. I do listen to Gary Davis, Tony Blackburn, Trevor Nelson and Johnny Walker shows on My SOunds.

gone with the old


in with the new and fresh faces :love:

Shame as his show is the best one on there. Says it all that it's the most listened to show even though it's not a great time slot. I do like Zoe, Sara, Scott etc but there's a reason people like Ken, Mayo and Wright are legends of their craft. There's not enough diversity in the music anymore either with the younger replacements

Zoe Ball is a nice person etc but she is a terrible DJ

unlistenable unless you are a surrey housewife

My problem is that she bangs on about Strictly all the bloody time. Don't think there's been a single day she hasn't managed to shoehorn a Strictly mention into the show

That horrible Richie wannabe celeb who does the travel makes my skin crawl

I reckon it was when they replaced Terry Wogan with the insufferable Chris Evans and lost almost all of Wogans listeners in one go.

Everyone over fifty should turn off BBC and refuse to pay their licence fee. There's nothing the BBC offers for people who haven't got kids, are over 40 and are not a member of the champagne Socialist from Islington set.

Nearly 600,000 listeners turn off after departure of Steve Wright and Paul O'Grady and axing of
60s and 70s songs - while Greatest Hits Radio enjoys boom ahead of Ken
Bruce's arrival

BBC Radio 2 has lost 580,000 listeners in a year where they ripped up their
schedule and older stars including Ken Bruce, Steve Wright and Paul O'Grady
were shipped out for younger DJs such as Scott Mills.

The station has found itself at the centre of an ageism storm as commercial
rivals playing more music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s saw their
audiences grow by up to a third.

So-called 'Radio 2 refugees' have abandoned the station for Boom Radio -
the station is aimed at baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 - and
Greatest Hits Radio, the new home of Ken Bruce, who will take his beloved
PopMaster quiz with him in March.

Radio 2
overall weekly audience has fallen by 580,000 to 14.29million.


Breakfast show host Zoe Ball has seen a drop in listeners while Ken Bruce's
listenership is also down - although his show is still the most listened to on
the station with 8.2million, according to Rajar.
