Anybody else gutted about Ken Bruce leaving in March? I wonder who will replace him, maybe Gary Davies.

I still don't feel like the Scott Miles slot is really "working" and between that and now Ken going it will be a very different kid of schedule.

KB is going in March. whaaaat?
Tbh I could see this coming. After they got rid of wrighty the writing was on the wall
 
Greatest Hits Radio will now have Mark Goodier, Jakki Brambles, Simon Mayo, Ken Bruce......and could Steve Wright end up there too? 😲
Not forgetting Richard Allinson, Paul Gambaccini who also have shows on GHR.
Shocking what radio 2 bosses have done to the station recently, only Liza, Paul Gambo, Johnnie W & Tony Blackburn are left & worth listening to, on weekends only now.
There's a list of talent as long as your arm that bbc have got rid of, from G Norton to Ken now.

I know he said it's totally his decision but if that's true what the hell is going on at Radio 2?! If you were close to retiring would you not prefer to stay where you've build your career and have a large, loyal audience instead of starting somewhere new? It makes me think is there something wrong with the culture there if it's not about contract or money.
 
Lots said when Steve Wright left that if Ken Bruce left, listeners would leave in their droves! I have R2 on in the office during the day but my mornings start with Chris Evans on Virgin and Graham Norton at the weekends. Saturdays I only listen to Rylan.

Be interesting who will fill the spot - will it go to another female presenter as we all know the BBC like to be so woke! I'd love Gary Davies to take it on.

Probably tbh. The bbc are pushing him on us, look at strictly (which tbf I thought he was good and went out too early)

Oh god. I don't mind Richie but I couldn't cope with him for a full show. Don't like Vernon. Hope it's Gary Davies.

Wouldn't surprise if Richie got it, he's stood in for Sara Cox before & gets the odd Bank Holiday show too.
:(

I honestly hope radio 2 loses millions of listeners.
Just been reading that Ken takes PopMaster with him to his new show 😁

Glad to hear that. Have any RAJAR figures come out since SW’s departure?

The public didn’t like him. But the BBC seem tone deaf to that hence the foisting of him.

No expert but I think the listening figures get released much later this year.
Steve Wright was on about 7m per week
Ken Bruce nearly 9m per week.
The controller Helen Roberts seems determined to kill the station.
