[Music] Oh no, Ken Bruce quits Radio 2!

[The Clamp]

They should end Popmaster. Nobody else hosts that properly.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Quote from the BBC Trevor Nelson, Rylan Clark, Claudia Winkleman, Dermot O'Leary and Jo Whiley are among the names who could be considered for Bruce's slot.

Well if Claudia gets the gig, being radio, at least l won't have to put up with her irritating fringe.

[Live by the sea]

Gary Davies please .

 

[Weststander]

I'd imagine Rylan Clark Neal would be likely to replace him, or Jermaine Jenas.

Or Matt Baker.

 

[BLOCK F]

Me: *Hoping Jeremy Vine is the one who's leaving because he's an insufferable smug tosser*

Ken Bruce: "Oh you're one show out!"

Brilliant.

 

[Frutos]

Popmaster is going with him.

 

[Papak]

I was wondering if he was much too old to continue in the role but he is probably only 1 year out...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Popmaster is going with him.

I guess Ken has the copyright for it.

 

[Austrian Gull]

I love Ken - he's knowledgeable and modest. He's a music fan and I'm not sure that many of the newer presenters on Radio 2 are.

Popmaster going will take a lot of listeners along with him.

It feels like Radio 2 are trying to radically renew their presenters for a much younger audience like Radio 1 did in the 90s. Probably trying to get rid of the same listeners as back then

 

[Bob!]

Wow, I thought he'd stay until he keeled over in his chair. Ooh Gary Davis or OJ Borg (latter being very very good and surprised another station hasn't grabbed him).

The bad news for anyone thinking of following Ken to GHR is that they aren't up to the high production stadards of the Beeb. Playlist consists of about 50 songs, great for week one but by week 4 it gets repetative. Listening on DAB, Alexa or online you get two adverts running together or nothing at all and lots of gaps.

Ooh Trevor Nelson!

 

[Zebedee]

Another middle aged white presenter bites the dust. But at least we know that the BBC will make every effort to ensure that Ken is replaced by the best person for the job, so we can all keep soundly in our beds.

 

[Stella Seagull]

Give it to Keaveny. Whenever he's covered Liza Tarbuck it's been a treat.

Need one of the 'cool' 6 Music lot (or ex-lot) to jump over instead of the Radio 1 whipper-snappers

Speaking of 6music I remember ye good olde days when Jon Holmes used to present and had quiz titled 'Ken Bruce Master'. Infinitely better than the original it was based on.

middle aged? he's 71

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Or Matt Baker.

A pro ject too far.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

middle aged? he's 71

He was probably just trying to be polite.

White presenter - radio?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Whose decision was it for Ken to go? Aunties, or Ken himself?

Ken said it was his decision
