Well that’s the end of me listening to radio 2 then. Why does the BBC need two radio 1’s? Why does BBC management hate it’s core listeners with such a passion? You know those people that actually pay the license tax.

Last true broadcaster leaving Radio 2, unsure what’s going on at R2 but they seem to be giving away flagship shows to overpaid talentless show offs nowadays. Will lose their audience come March when everyone listens to the legend that is KEN BRUCE!

Dear me…
@BBCRadio2
please think carefully for Kens replacement, you cocked up big time with Steve Wright replacement, so bland & boring, but plays ‘some’ good tunes. I now turn it off 12-4pm. If your not careful it’ll be.
